Former Seattle Mariners' Ace Set to Be Sidelined For Good Portion with 2024 with Another Elbow Injury

In another frustrating setback, Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Marco Gonzales is set to miss a good portion of the 2024 season with another elbow problem. General manager Ben Cherington said on his 93.7 The Fan radio show on May 5 that he is optimistic Gonzales will pitch again this season. The team had him and Ryan Borucki get second opinions in California during the week of April 29, and after ordering additional tests on Gonzales, it was determined that a "conservative treatment with both guys, at this point, is the right path."
