Yankees Prospect Brock Selvidge Undergoes Elbow Internal Brace, Out for 2026

The 23-year-old was a mid-tier prospect outside the 40-man roster, putting his next realistic game action in 2027.

Overview

  • MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo first reported the surgery, which multiple outlets confirmed, noting Selvidge will miss the entire season.
  • Because he is not on the 40-man roster, he will not go on the 60-day injured list or accrue major-league service time or pay.
  • This setback follows September 2024 surgery for a pinched nerve in his left biceps, part of a three-year stretch with limited innings.
  • He touched 97 mph early this spring and is viewed as a potential back-end starter with a fastball, cutter and sweeper/slider.
  • The 2021 third-round pick went unclaimed in the Rule 5 Draft and posted a 4.68 ERA at Double-A in 2025, keeping him a depth option before the injury.
