The Cubs have not offered a clear timeline for Alcántara's recovery, but the surgery was successful, according to Lee, so there's no reason to believe this will affect his 2026 campaign. Corey Seager is a prominent recent example of a player who returned from sports hernia surgery. He had a hernia on his left side repaired in late January 2024 and recovered quickly enough to start at shortstop on Opening Day just two months later.
