Guardians’ All-Star David Fry to miss most of season after undergoing elbow surgery

The timeline for his return has been set between 8-12 months.

The Cleveland Guardians have suffered a big blow as star David Fry underwent major elbow surgery on Monday which will keep him out for most of the 2025 season. Fry, who made the All-Star game in his second season, served as an all-rounder in the team, playing catcher, first base, third base, outfield, and designated hitter.

However, the 28-year-old was kept out of the fielding position after he suffered an elbow injury late in the season.

Now, according to Mandy Bell from MLB.com, Fry underwent surgery to repair a ligament in his elbow on Monday.
