Nov 03 (Field Level Media) – Tampa Bay Rays right-hander ​Edwin Uceta underwent ‌surgery on his right shoulder and will miss at least the first couple ‌months ​of the ⁠2027 season, team ⁠president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Tuesday.

Uceta, 28, has been sidelined ​since spring training in March with a ⁠right shoulder ⁠impingement and subscapularis strain. ​The symptoms resurfaced after ​he resumed throwing and he ‌ultimately was shut down for the season.

Uceta posted a 10-3 record ⁠with one save and a 3.79 ERA in 70 relief ⁠appearances ‌in 2025.

He is ⁠12-6 with a ​3.70 ‌ERA and six saves ​in 125 ⁠career appearances (one start) with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2021), Arizona Diamondbacks (2022), New York Mets (2023) and Rays.
