Padres Lose Brito: Big Blow or Next Man Up?

Tough news for Friar Faithful—Jhony Brito, the fireballer from the Juan Soto trade, is out until at least mid-2026 after UCL and tendon surgery. The Padres’ bullpen depth will be tested, but with arms like Yu Darvish gearing up for a comeback, can San Diego’s pitching staff weather the storm? Brito’s flexibility as a starter or reliever will be missed, but his cost control means he’ll likely stick around for a shot at redemption. #Padres #MLB #InjuryUpdate #NextManUp #Sports
