Isaac revealed Friday that he underwent brain surgery in July, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Isaac's last game at Double-A Montgomery came on June 25, but he had asked the Rays not to divulge details of his medical status during the season. However, Isaac revealed the cause of his absence in an Instagram post Friday, noting that the brain surgery was "life-saving." Isaac recently attended a hitting camp and is expected to be 100 percent for the start of spring training. The first baseman slashed .201/.366/.446 with nine home runs in 41 contests for Montgomery in 2025 and will likely need another full year of seasoning in the minors in 2026.

Double-A Montgomery placed Isaac on the 7-day injured list July 6 with an undisclosed injury. This is Isaac's second injured list stint of the year, as he missed the first two weeks of the season with an elbow injury. He also missed almost two weeks in early May with an undisclosed injury but he didn't land on the IL that time. Isaac most recently played June 25 and it seems the elbow injury he suffered in spring training may be affecting his play as well as his availability this season. He's slashing .201/.366/.446 with nine home runs, a 29.7 percent strikeout rate and a 19.4 percent walk rate in 41 games for the Biscuits.

Isaac started at DH and went 0-for-1 with three walks Thursday for Double-A Montgomery. He had not played since May 4 for undisclosed reasons. Isaac wasn't placed on the injured list or any other roster exemption, so it's not clear if he was nursing an injury. Isaac is slashing .229/.460/.543 with two home runs and one stolen base in 12 games this year.

Isaac (elbow) is 4-for-10 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored over his last three games at Double-A Montgomery. Isaac, who began the 2025 campaign on the 7-day injured list due to an elbow injury suffered during spring training, got off to a tough 2-for-20 start at the dish in his first six appearances. However, he's turned the corner of late, racking up three extra-base hits over his last three games, including his first home run of the year.

Isaac (elbow) will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He'll see his first spring game action since Feb. 21, after a sore left elbow had limited him in recent workouts. Though the elbow issue no longer seems to be affecting Isaac at the dish, it's unclear when he'll be able to complete his throwing program and resume playing first base and in the outfield. In any case, Isaac doesn't look like he'll require a season-opening stint on Double-A Montgomery's injured list since he'll be able to serve as a DH until he's fully healthy.
