Depending on the type of tear, an athlete may be better served by having a surgeon repair the ligament and adding support for the elbow.

One clear benefit of UCL repair with an external brace allows the athlete to return to playing faster. UCL surgery typically requires one year of rehabilitation.

Dollander was removed from a May 14, 2026, game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second inning.

He was unavailable for comment.
