BALTIMORE (AP) — Zach Eflin is looking forward to 2027, less than a week after Tommy John surgery on his 32nd birthday. He left his March 31 season debut after striking out seven and allowing one run in 3 2/3 innings against Texas. He had elbow reconstruction surgery Wednesday.
“I’m in a lot better spot than I was a week, a week and a half ago,” Eflin said Sunday. “I knew something happened on the field. Really felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest.
I was going through so much this offseason to come back on time and I honestly never felt better in my career before. ” Eflin was 6-5 with a 5. 93 ERA in 14 starts while making three trips to the injured list last season.
