Meccage was shut down for a couple months and went through an extensive rehab process to the point where he was a possible candidate for an end of season return to an affiliate. Unfortunately, rest and rehab was not enough and the right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery after a recent setback. Very tough blow for Meccage who seemed to have avoided anything too serious for a while, but will now miss the vast majority, if not all, of 2027 as well.

RHP Chang Tzu-Chun Lin is well ahead of schedule in his rehab from TJ. He made some throws today for the first time since his surgery.
