- When he enters a game, it will be his first affiliated action since Oct. 30, 2024 in World Series Game 5 against the Yankees.
- He had right shoulder labrum surgery in November 2024 and opened 2026 on the injured list after low spring velocity.
- MLB rules allow pitchers up to 30 days for rehab, and the team expects him to use most of that window with an early June target.
