Starter Corbin Burnes had Tommy John surgery earlier this month as well, and he too is likely out all of 2026, unless he's able to make a late-season return in September, similar to Martinez.

It will be the second Tommy John procedure for the 29-year-old, which brings some doubt to his short-lived big league career. He had Tommy John as a minor leaguer in 2021.

That would require Tommy John surgery, and the seven-time MLB All-Star could miss out on all games until 2027. He last played on Friday when the Yankees lost 15-5 against the Phillies.
