Hunter Dobbins, the 27-year-old Cardinals pitcher traded from Boston, faces a brutal setback: elbow surgery for a ligament issue, potentially sidelining him until late next summer. This follows his previous Tommy John surgery in 2021, and comes at a critical juncture as he was emerging as a key rotation piece for St. Louis. The Red Sox, who acquired him to bolster their lineup, now benefit from catcher Willson Contreras’ production — while the Cardinals must wait to see if Dobbins can rebound. His recovery will be long and demanding, but with youth on his side, there’s still hope he’ll return stronger.
