US EditionPirates Pitcher Jared Jones Facing Possible Elbow Surgery
- Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Jared Jones experienced a setback while rehabilitating a ligament injury in his right elbow in 2025.
- Jones sustained the elbow strain in mid-March after missing time the previous season with a lat injury, prompting the Pirates to shut him down for six weeks.
- Jones, who made 22 starts with a 6-8 record and 4.14 ERA in his 2024 rookie season, began a throwing program and progressed to playing catch by late April.
- The Pirates reported that Jones' initial evaluation indicated his elbow remained stable, though Tommy John surgery could be necessary, and he is scheduled for a follow-up exam on Tuesday.
- Jones faces the possibility of missing the entire 2025 season and a large part of 2026, which disrupts the Pirates' expectation of him being a consistent presence in the starting rotation alongside their standout rookie from 2024, Paul Skenes.
