Cleveland Guardians' pitcher Ben Lively will have Tommy John surgery along with a flexor tendon repair after consulting with Dr. Keith Meister, confirming severe elbow damage. This procedure denotes a significant recovery time of 12 to 16 months, meaning Lively is likely to miss the entire 2026 season and the end of the 2025 season. Both team and consulting physicians noted that joint laxity was increasing stress on Lively's arm, necessitating surgical intervention.
Ben Lively is set to undergo Tommy John surgery and flexor tendon repair, which will keep him out for 12 to 16 months.
