As we wait to hear an official update from the Astros on the health of Jose Urquidy and Cristian Javier, we're beginning to see reports from sources that Urquidy will have to undergo another Tommy John Surgery.

General manager Dana Brown recently gave an update on the pitchers, saying they were waiting on some second opinions and that they should be able to reveal the club's plan of action by this Thursday.

Hopefully, both pitchers are able to avoid the dreaded TJ surgery, but if Urquidy is seeking a second opinion, one would assume the first opinion told him the surgery was necessary.

If Urquidy does indeed have the surgery, there's a decent chance we've seen the last of him in an Astros uniform. He will be a free agent after the 2025 season, and may not have enough time to fully recover and play next year.

Urquidy has pitched in 5 seasons for the Astros, going 27-16 with a 3.98 career ERA.
