Diamondbacks Torey Lovullo said Friday that Puk (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Analysis
Puk was pulled from his throwing program last week after experiencing left elbow discomfort. He then paid a visit in Los Angeles to Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who determined that Tommy John surgery was the best option for the 30-year-old southpaw. Puk will miss the rest of the 2025 season, and given the significance of the procedure, he could miss most -- if not all -- of the 2026 campaign. He'll end the season with a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and four saves across eight innings out of the bullpen.
