Brooks Baldwin, a 25-year-old infielder for the Chicago White Sox, will miss the entire season due to a UCL internal brace procedure on his right elbow.
Baldwin was placed on the 10-day injured list on March 26, 2026, and had not played yet this season. Despite showing promise during spring training, where he hit .286 with a .762 OPS, he is now set for surgery that will keep him out of the lineup for the entire year.
This injury is a significant blow for the White Sox, who are still evaluating their roster as a young team. With Baldwin sidelined, Chicago will have the opportunity to explore various infield options moving forward.
