Guardians pitching prospect Khal Stephen will undergo right UCL repair/reconstruction surgery this week.
Fantasy Impact
Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said the specificity of the procedure on Stephen won't be known until renowned elbow specialist Dr. Keith Meister performs the operation. Nonetheless, it appears Stephen could miss a significant chunk, if not all of the 2027 season, as well.

Fantasy Impact
Stephen will figure to miss time into next season as well. He was acquired by Cleveland in the Shane Bieber trade.

The Blue Jays promoted No. 10 prospect Khal Stephen to High-A Vancouver.
Fantasy Impact
Stephen, No. 2 prospect Trey Yesavage and Gage Stanifer were all promoted after dominating in Single-A. They all join No. 1 prospect Arjun Nimmala in Vancouver.
