Alex Cobb will undergo surgery on his left hip labrum Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants announced.

The surgery will address an issue that ended Cobb's 2023 season midway through September.

The left-hander will need approximately six months to return to pitching, which means he won't be ready for Opening Day 2024.

Cobb has a $10 million club option for next season, with a $2 million buyout.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia will undergo imaging on his left torso after grabbing it and leaving Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night following a swing in the eighth inning. Garcia's injury came after Max Scherzer, the Rangers' Game 3 starter, exited in the fourth inning after a spasm flared in his back.

The dual injuries put a damper on an otherwise-productive night for the Rangers, whose 3-1 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks gave Texas a two-games-to-one advantage in the series.

Max Scherzer has a cut on the thumb of his pitching hand that he doesn't think will hinder him from playing in the World Series.

The Texas Rangers starter had a Band-Aid on the inside of his right thumb near the nail before throwing a bullpen session Wednesday, two days before the World Series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

"It's just a cut. I can wear a bandage, throw a bullpen on it," Scherzer said. "The pain of it, I can pitch through that. That's not the problem. It's just it would get bloody."

Chicago Cubs right-hander Michael Fulmer is expected to miss the 2024 season following elbow surgery.

Fulmer, 30, had UCL revision surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday.

UCL revision surgery is not the same as Tommy John surgery, but focuses on the same area.

Fulmer ended the season on the injured list after going 3-5 with a 4.42 ERA and two saves in 58 games (one start). He is set to become a free agent after playing on a one-year, $4 million contract.

The Texas Rangers added right-handed starters Max Scherzer and Jon Gray to their American League Championship Series roster Sunday, fortifying their pitching staff before their first postseason matchup with the rival Houston Astros.

Houston Astros reliever Kendall Graveman won't be on the AL Championship Series roster against the Texas Rangers because of right shoulder discomfort.

The right-hander missed the Division Series with the problem but had hoped that he could recover in time for the next round.

Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton had arthroscopic surgery Friday on his troublesome right knee with the goal of alleviating the irritation related to patellar tendinitis and returning to center field next season.

"That's his focus," president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said Friday. "That's what he wants, and that's what we all want. So that'll be our mission through the offseason, to get him there."

Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff could miss the 2024 season after undergoing surgery Friday to repair the anterior capsule in his throwing shoulder.

The Brewers said Woodruff is expected to sit out most, if not all, of next season. The injury caused the two-time All-Star to miss the Brewers' National League Wild Card Series loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright is recovering from surgery to repair a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder and is expected to miss the 2024 season, the team said Friday.

The Braves said Wright, 28, had the procedure Wednesday.

Max Scherzer declared himself "ready to go" after throwing another bullpen session and doing fielding drills Friday, two days before the Texas Rangers open the American League Championship Series.

The Rangers haven't said whether the three-time Cy Young Award winner will be on their ALCS roster, and that decision doesn't have to be made until Sunday before Game 1 at Houston. Scherzer hasn't pitched in a game since Sept. 12 because of a muscle strain in his injured shoulder.
