Needs Tommy John surgery Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Vieira (elbow/knee/shoulder) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vieira reported soreness in his knee, shoulder and elbow Monday -- the last of which seems to be the most severe, as it will require him to undergo Tommy John surgery. The operation will force him to miss the entire 2025 season, and he likely won't be cleared for game action until mid-2026.

Reports multiple sore areas Vieira told trainers Monday that he feels discomfort in his right knee, right elbow and right shoulder, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks are planning to have Vieira undergo imaging to determine what the source of the discomfort may be. Vieira played for three teams in 2024, finishing out the season with Arizona.

Orioles acquire reliever Thyago Vieira in a trade with the Brewers

The Baltimore Orioles have acquired reliever Thyago Vieira in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers

MAY 25, 2024 • Associated Press

Headed to Baltimore The Brewers traded Vieira and Aneuris Rodriguez to the Orioles on Saturday in exchange for Garrett Stallings.

Impact Vieira was DFA'd by Milwaukee on Monday, but he will once again possess a spot on a big-league roster as he joins the Orioles. The 30-year-old reliever posted a 4.97 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 25.1 innings during his tenure with the Brewers, and he'll likely slide into a low-leverage role in Baltimore's bullpen.

Earns multi-inning save Vieira earned his second career save Sunday in a win over the Mariners, allowed two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out five over three innings.

Impact Vieira was called upon to begin the seventh with the Brewers holding a comfortable 10-2 lead. He tossed 50 pitches and struck out five along the way to finish the game and earn a rare save in what was just his fourth major league appearance since the start of last year.

Secures bullpen spot Vieira is included on the Brewers' 26-man active roster for Friday's season opener versus the Mets.

Impact Vieira finished the 2023 season on the injured list due to a right calf strain, but he was fully healthy for spring training and posted a 3.52 ERA and 13:5 K:BB in 7.2 innings during Cactus League play to secure his spot on the Opening Day roster. Though closer Devin Williams (back) is expected to be sidelined for the first two-plus months of the season, Vieira is unlikely to immediately factor into the mix for saves, given his limited body of work in the majors in addition to the control issues that he's exhibited at every stop of his professional career. That being said, Vieira brings premium velocity to the table and should be a strong source of strikeouts on a per-inning basis even if he's relegated to a middle-relief role for Milwaukee.

Hits shelf with calf strain The Brewers placed Vieira on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right calf strain.

Impact The injury will spell an end to Vieira's season, though unless he's dealing with a Grade 2 or 3 strain that necessitates surgery and/or an extended recovery, the hard-throwing right-hander should be in store for a normal offseason. Vieira received a call-up from Triple-A Nashville earlier this month and saw his first MLB action since the 2019 season. In two appearances out of Milwaukee's bullpen, Vieira struck out two batters over three no-hit scoreless innings.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Selected from Triple-A Vieira was selected from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Vieira has spent the entire 2023 season in Triple-A Nashville. In 37.2 innings, the reliever posted a 3.35 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. His last major league appearance came in 2019 with the White Sox and after that he pitched in Japan. In a corresponding move, Clayton Andrews was optioned to Triple-A.
