A’s Prospect Wei-En Lin To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Left-handed pitching prospect Wei-En Lin will be undergoing Tommy John surgery, MLB.com’s Martin Gallegos reports.  Given the usual recovery timeline, Lin will be sidelined until August 2027 at the earliest, so it is very possible the procedure wipes out both the rest of his 2026 campaign and his entire 2027 season.
A $1.3MM international signing for the Athletics in 2024, the 20-year-old Lin has already advanced to Triple-A in his second pro season.  Lin posted a 1.93 ERA, 26.6%
