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.

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

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. 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.

Rosenthal is currently sidelined at Triple-A Toledo by a right elbow sprain, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Rosenthal made two appearances with Toledo before getting hurt, allowing one run with a 1:3 K:BB over two innings. He's now going through physical therapy, 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.

Rosenthal is scheduled to pitch in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. Rosenthal will make his first appearance of spring training in the final game of Grapefruit League play Sunday. The 32-year-old has been ramped up slowly in camp due to his injury issues over the past few years and won't make the Opening Day roster, but it shouldn't be too long before he joins the big-league club if he is throwing well.
