Astros' Ronel Blanco to Undergo Tommy John Surgery
Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco is going to have surgery on his elbow, called Tommy John surgery.
This means he won't be able to play for the rest of the 2025 baseball season.
He was doing very well last year with a great record and even pitched a no-hitter.
He's been having elbow pain since his last game.
Now, he will need surgery and won't be able to play for a while.
This is tough for the Astros because some of their other pitchers are also hurt.

Blanco has been experiencing elbow soreness since his last game on May 17.
He was placed on a 15-day injury leave on May 20 due to inflammation.
