Baltimore Orioles veteran reliever Felix Bautista, the 28-year-old right-hander who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 26, will have Tommy John surgery next month and miss the playoffs and likely the entire 2024 season.
Bautista had hoped to return for the postseason Baltimore's first postseason appearance since 2016. The AL East champions open the Division Series on Oct. 7.
"To Felix's credit, bless his heart, he realized there might be a window to keep his arm throwing, up and running," Elias said."But we just ran out of time for this to be a feasible and successful option for the postseason, and it stopped making sense, so we went ahead and scheduled the surgery. There's nothing that changed or nothing that happened in the last couple of weeks that he's been throwing.
Bautista was 8-2 with a 1.48 ERA and 33 saves in 39 chances. The first-time All-Star struck out 110 of 237 batters.
