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.
Rosenthal had UCL reconstruction revision surgery in June 2023. 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 once-dominant reliever also dealt with hamstring and lat injuries while sitting out the 2022 campaign. 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.
