Overview
- MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo reported the internal-brace repair of the UCL in Selvidge’s left elbow, ruling him out for 2026.
- Because he is not on the Yankees’ 40-man roster, he will not accrue MLB service or pay and is off the table for late-season call-up consideration.
- The setback is expected to delay any realistic major-league opportunity until 2027.
- The loss trims New York’s pitching depth and removes a mid-tier prospect who could have featured in trade discussions this year.
- The 23-year-old 2021 third-rounder had touched 97 mph early this spring after a 2025 Double-A stint with a 4.68 ERA and elevated walk rate, following 2024 surgery for a pinched left-biceps nerve.
