Jhony Brito

Jhony Brito has been ruled out for the entire 2025 season after undergoing UCL internal brace surgery and a repair of his flexor tendon last month. This information is the first detailed update on the right-hander's treatment plan since he was moved to the 60-day injured list at the beginning of April.

Brito is facing a lengthy recovery period from the procedures and will now shift his focus toward preparing for the 2026 season.

The Padres transferred right-hander Jhony Brito (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Thursday. Brito landed on the IL to begin the season due to a forearm strain, and this move clears a 40-man roster spot for the newly selected Oscar Gonzalez.

Fantasy Impact

This procedural move confirms Brito will be sidelined until at least late May with the forearm strain. Given the lengthy absence and injury type, he holds no value in standard redraft leagues and can likely be dropped.

The Padres placed Jhony Brito on the 15-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Brito began dealing with soreness in his elbow last week. He enters the season without a clear timetable to return.

Jhony Brito is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day due to elbow soreness.

Fantasy Impact

Brito experienced soreness along with a dip in velocity during his last appearance. He has not pitched since then and will need to rebuild his velocity and be free of discomfort before making his regular season debut for the San Diego Padres.

Padres right-hander Jhony Brito is expected to be healthy and battle for a rotation spot after recovering from a right elbow sprain.

Fantasy Impact

Brito might be eased along slowly early in camp but the expectation is for him to be healthy enough to compete for a rotation spot. The 26-year-old posted a 4.12 ERA in 26 outings (all in relief) for the Friars last season but should find himself in the mix for the fifth spot in the starting rotation this spring.
