Ronel Blanco will undergo season-ending elbow surgery. Blanco is the third Houston Astros\' starter to suffer a significant injury within the season’s first two months.
Blanco threw a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays during his first start of 2024, beginning a breakout season that saw Blanco finish runner-up to Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal for the American League ERA title.
