Analysis
McArthur underwent an offseason procedure to address an olecranon fracture that involved two screws being placed in his right elbow. Both screws have now been extracted from his elbow, but he'll be subject to further testing before the Royals determine his next steps. The 28-year-old righty has been on the shelf all season and is without a clear timeline to make his 2025 debut.
