Royals' Alec Marsh: Had labral surgery in October
Alec Marsh underwent surgery in October to repair a labral tear in his right shoulder, MLB.com reports.Marsh missed the entire 2025 season with shoulder issues and it was concluded last month that surgery was required. He is expected to need around a year to recover, so the right-hander is unlikely to be ready to pitch in a big-league game again until 2027. Marsh posted a 4.53 ERA and 123:39 K:BB over 129 innings for Kansas City in 2024.

Royals' Alec Marsh: Unlikely to pitch in 2026
The Kansas City Royals announced Aug. 15 that Alec Marsh hasn't resumed throwing since receiving an injection for his sore right shoulder at the end of July, MLB.com reports.Marsh has been on the shelf throughout 2025 after he first experienced shoulder tightness during his offseason throwing program and then experienced multiple setbacks over the ensuing months. The Royals are hopeful that the injection will help resolve the discomfort in his shoulder, but Marsh's hopes of contributing at any point this season appear to have been dashed. He could start throwing again in September, but the Royals' main focus seems to be ensuring that Marsh has a normal offseason and is ready to compete for a spot on the big-league pitching staff next spring.

Royals' Alec Marsh: Gets injection for shoulder
Alec Marsh received an injection for his sore right shoulder last week, MLB.com reports.Marsh has yet to pitch at any level this season after he first experienced shoulder tightness early on during spring training before suffering multiple setbacks in the subsequent months. He's in the midst of a rest period while he waits for the injection to alleviate the discomfort in his shoulder, but if the shot provides the desired effect, he could soon restart a throwing program. Even if he's able to steer clear of any further setbacks, Marsh will likely require an extended ramp-up program and probably won't be a realistic candidate to return from the 60-day injured list until late August at the soonest.

Royals' Alec Marsh: Throwing program shut down
Alec Marsh (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing and will be re-evaluated July 9, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.Marsh has experienced multiple setbacks in his recovery from a right shoulder impingement that emerged at the start of spring training.

The 27-year-old has made all 33 career starts since 2023, including 25 starts last season in which he posted a 4.53 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 129.0 innings. His timeline to return remains uncertain, and even if healthy, Marsh may face an uphill battle to reclaim a spot in the starting rotation.
