Emmet Sheehan, a promising pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, saw his 2024 season cut short due to Tommy John surgery following forearm soreness. After debuting with a 4.92 ERA in 2023, expectations were high for his performance this season. Sheehan is already throwing off a mound and aims for a rehab assignment by late May or June. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic, drawing inspiration from teammates who've undergone similar surgeries, while the team's management expressed hope for a successful recovery.
Sheehan was optimistic after the surgery which included the internal brace. "Super frustrating," Sheehan said days after the procedure.
Manager Dave Roberts said, "From what I heard, it just wasn't responding the way he had hoped and we had hoped."
Sheehan had an impressive track record in the minors. He had a 2.43 ERA in 2023 and 2.91 the year before.
Sheehan underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-May and didn't pitch at all for the Dodgers in 2024.
