Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Puk (elbow/shoulder) will remain shut down for the remainder of the season, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Puk suffered a shoulder capsule sprain while pitching in a rehab game in June, and MRI results revealed in July that he still hadn't fully recovered from the injury. After seeking out a second opinion, the left-hander is now officially set to miss the entire 2026 campaign. Puk will become a free agent this coming offseason and will shift his focus toward getting healthy for the start of 2027.
