2026 Injury Updates - Answering Your Questions When Possible (ARobsBrewCrew Thread)

[Madhawk23]

Sorry if already discussed here, but do we have any idea of a timeline for Joey Broughton? He was a guy I was really intrigued with coming out of that '24 draft class (with Dorchies, Renz, Dubanewicz, etc.).

Broughton has been healthy and full go since last September from everything I’ve heard.  There was actually a chance that he was going to make his pro debut late last year, but they are taking things slow with him.  The organization just opted to start him off in the Arizona Complex League and so he should be with the ACL team when they start their season the first week of May.  I expected him to head straight to Wilson, but I guess I should’ve tempered my expectations a little especially coming back from injury.
