San Francisco Giants reliever Randy Rodriguez has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament, requiring Tommy John surgery, as announced on August 30, 2025.

Rodriguez's recent worsening soreness was carefully managed throughout the season, but his condition ultimately necessitated surgery.

He was placed on the 15-day injured list last weekend due to a right elbow sprain and is now expected to miss significant time.

Following the trade of closer Camilo Doval to the Yankees on July 31, Rodriguez stepped into the closer role, recording three saves and three losses in August.

In his rookie season in 2024, Rodriguez posted a 3-2 record with a 4.30 ERA, but his 2025 campaign has seen better numbers with a 3-5 record, a 1.78 ERA over 50⅓ innings, four saves, and 67 strikeouts.

Since Rodriguez's injury, right-hander Ryan Walker has resumed the closer role for the Giants.

Rodriguez's last pitch was hit for a walk-off solo homer by William Contreras of the Milwaukee Brewers on August 22, which resulted in a 5-4 Brewers victory.
