TREVOR ROSENTHAL NEWS

Throwing 95 mph in bullpen sessions Rosenthal (elbow) is throwing 95 mph in bullpen sessions and hopes to return to the majors at some point after the All-Star break, Martin Kilcoyne of FOX 2 in St. Louis reports.

Impact Rosenthal had UCL reconstruction revision surgery last June. He has not pitched in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, having undergone thoracic outlet syndrome surgery and hip surgery since then, in addition to his elbow operation. The reliever also missed time back in 2022 with hamstring and lat injuries. Now 34, Rosenthal is a long shot to ever be healthy and effective again, but perhaps he'll find a club willing to give him a shot on a minor-league contract.

Cut loose by Detroit Rosenthal (elbow) was released by the Tigers on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal in March but appeared in just three minor-league games before requiring UCL reconstruction revision surgery. Rosenthal last pitched in the majors during shortened 2020 campaign when he had a 1.90 ERA and 11 saves between the Royals and Padres, and he likely won't be back on the mound until at least the second half of 2024.

Set for UCL revision surgery The Tigers announced Wednesday that Rosenthal is scheduled to undergo a UCL reconstruction revision surgery for his right elbow next week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rosenthal hasn't pitched in the big leagues since submitting a 1.90 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while saving 11 games in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, and with another major arm operation on tap, the 33-year-old looks like he'll have to wait until at least late in the 2024 season to potentially make another appearance in the majors. The right-hander's surgery will be a revision of the Tommy John surgery he underwent in 2017, and he'll presumably be facing a 12-to-14-month recovery timeline if the upcoming procedure goes as anticipated. Rosenthal previously had thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in April 2021 and hip surgery in July 2021, then missed significant time in 2022 with hamstring and lat injuries. He joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal in March but suffered a sprained elbow while pitching for Triple-A Toledo in April and then had a setback during his recent rehab appearance with Single-A Lakeland before the UCL revision surgery was deemed necessary.

Begins rehab assignment Rosenthal (elbow) was sent to Low-A Lakeland on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact Rosenthal had made two appearances with Triple-A Toledo in April when he went down with a sprained right elbow. He's evidently been cleared for game action again and should eventually return to Toledo, health permitting.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing sprained elbow Rosenthal is currently sidelined at Triple-A Toledo by a right elbow sprain, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Rosenthal made two appearances with Toledo before getting hurt, allowing one run with a 1:3 K:BB over two innings. He's going through physical therapy right now and it's not clear how long it might be before he's allowed to throw again. Rosenthal had Tommy John surgery back in 2017 and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 due to shoulder and hip issues.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Feels healthy heading into '23 Rosenthal (lat) said Thursday that he's back to full health and intends to continue his career in 2023, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Impact The 31-year-old Rosenthal appeared to revive his career during the abbreviated 2020 campaign, when he logged a 1.90 ERA and 0.85 WHIP while saving 11 games across 23 appearances with the Royals and Padres. He inked a one-year, $11 million deal with the Athletics following that season, but he never pitched for the club after undergoing thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in April 2021 and then surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip that July. Rosenthal appeared poised to make a late-season return in 2022 after signing with the Giants -- and later being traded to the Brewers -- this summer, but a hamstring injury and then a lat injury prevented him from resurfacing in the majors. Due to his poor health record over the past couple years, Rosenthal may have to settle for an incentive-laden minor-league deal in free agency this winter.

The Brewers' trade for Trevor Rosenthal takes another hit, as the reliever suffered a setback on rehab assignment The Brewers acquired Rosenthal at the trade deadline but he has yet to pitch for the team

Rehab assignment on tap Rosenthal (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Rosenthal reached 98 mph during a workout Friday and has now been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. The right-hander missed the 2021 season after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, and he's been dealing with a hamstring issue since early June. He'll likely require multiple rehab appearances before he's cleared to join the Brewers' bullpen, but the team hopes that he'll be able to return sometime in late August.

Traded to Brewers Rosenthal (hamstring) was traded from the Giants to the Brewers on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Won't contribute immediately Rosenthal (hamstring) is "several weeks" away from appearing in a game with the Giants, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Rosenthal signed with the Giants on Thursday, but his debut with the team is not imminent. He's begun throwing off a mound recently but will need a rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list. Depending on how quickly Rosenthal can return, he may be a candidate to pick up saves as manager Gabe Kapler remarked that Rosenthal "is just healthy away from being one of the more effective closers in the game."

Giants sign RHP Trevor Rosenthal to $4.5M, 1-year deal

Right-handed reliever Trevor Rosenthal has signed a $4.5 million, one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants

JULY 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Signs with Giants Rosenthal signed a one-year, $4.5 million contract with the Giants on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Rosenthal dealt with a cramp in his hamstring area following a showcase in early June, and he'll land on the injured list due to the issue. He's rehabbing in Arizona, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 due to shoulder and hip issues that he dealt with last year. Rosenthal has earned double-digit saves in four of his last five seasons. However, given his lengthy layoff, he'll likely take on some lower-leverage work once cleared to pitch at the big-league level.

JULY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Follow-up exam upcoming Rosenthal will soon be re-examined by the doctor that performed his surgery for a torn hip labrum earlier this year, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The veteran closer was never able to throw a pitch for the Athletics after signing a one-year deal with Oakland during the offseason. Rosenthal turned 31 in late May and will be coming off a major procedure going into next season, so it remains to be seen whether the A's or any other organization will be inclined to make anything more than a modest financial commitment.
