Undergoes reconstructive elbow surgery Dobbins underwent reconstructive surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, and he is expected to require a 12-month recovery, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Dobbins was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 22 with right forearm discomfort, but after he received a second opinion on the arm Tuesday, he opted to undergo elbow surgery. The 27-year-old has now undergone two procedures on his right elbow in his young career, and he may be forced to miss the entirety of the 2027 campaign while recovering. Dobbins made 11 appearances, including eight starts, with St. Louis this season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 54 innings.

Getting second opinion on forearm Dobbins will receive a second opinion on his injured right forearm Tuesday, Brenden Schaeffer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dobbins landed on the 15-day injured list last week and remains shut down due to inflammation around his right flexor tendon. It's possible the injury will prevent Dobbins from making it back this season, but more should be known about his status following Tuesday's exam. Dobbins has authored a 3.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB over 54 innings covering eight starts and three relief outings for the Cardinals in 2026.

Impact Dobbins will also undergo additional testing on his forearm at some point to check his progress. Though the right-hander has been cleared of structural damage, he is dealing with inflammation and discomfort around his flexor tendon. A return before the end of the season for Dobbins has not been ruled out, but it could be a long shot.

Dobbins has posted a 3.42 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 50 innings across 10 games (seven starts) this year. Dobbins is projected to make his next start in Philadelphia.

Matches season high in strikeouts Dobbins (2-3) took the loss against the Phillies on Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Impact A pair of errors kept two earned runs off Dobbins' ledger in what was a solid start overall by the hurler Monday. The six punchouts matched a season high, and the right-hander has now pitched at least five innings in five consecutive appearances. Dobbins, who has given up more than three runs just one time in nine outings for the Cardinals this year, will take a quality 3.40 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 42:17 K:BB over 45 innings into his next scheduled start on the road against the Cubs.
