Undergoes TJ surgery Walter (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Astros announced that Walter was slated for elbow surgery a couple of weeks ago, but now that we know he specifically underwent a Tommy John procedure, it's safe to assume the left-hander won't return to a big-league mound until 2027. It's a notable loss for the Astros' rotation, as Walter finished his first season in Houston with a 3.35 ERA and 0.93 WHIP through 53.2 innings spanning nine starts.

Scheduled for elbow surgery Walter will undergo surgery on his left elbow this week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact The specifics on the nature of the procedure aren't clear, but more should be known after the surgery takes place. Walter was terrific this season when healthy for the Astros, collecting a 3.35 ERA and 52:4 K:BB over 53.2 innings covering nine starts. If it's UCL surgery that the 29-year-old needs, he would likely be out until the 2027 season.
