Max Rajcic shared on Instagram Thursday afternoon that he underwent Tommy John surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Rajcic will likely miss most, if not all of the 2027 season.
Max Rajcic (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Rajcic is dealing with an elbow issue that placed him on the 15-day IL at the beginning of this week. He was moved to the 60-day IL to clear room on the active roster.
The Cardinals placed Max Rajcic on the 15-day injured list with right elbow soreness.
Fantasy Impact
Rajcic does not hold a timetable to return. He will head for further evaluation.
The Cardinals selected the contract of RHP Max Rajcic from Triple-A Memphis.
Fantasy Impact
Rajcic will make his major league debut when he first gets into a game.
Rajcic posted a 6.40 ERA with a 28:27 K:BB ratio across 45 innings after being promoted to Triple-A Memphis in 2025, and nearly all of his minor league work has come as a starter. Over the offseason, he and the Cardinals' player development staff addressed a mechanical flaw — his plant foot had been leaking, preventing him from rotating his hips quickly — and the correction has pushed his velocity from the low-90s to the mid-90s, with a spring peak of 97 mph.
Fantasy Impact
St. Louis is now weighing a shift to a full-time relief role, with the belief that the bullpen could give Rajcic a better path to the big leagues.
