Bukauskas' ongoing lat issues have now led to a surgical intervention, marking the fourth time he's dealt with an injury to the same area. He was limited to just six major league appearances last season due to injuries, and this procedure all but rules him out for the entire 2025 campaign. The Brewers hope the surgery will provide a long-term solution, allowing him to return fully healthy in 2026.
