Edwin Uceta underwent shoulder surgery last month and is slated to miss the first couple of months of next season, Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said.

Uceta, who had a 3.79 ERA and 103 strikeouts in 76 innings out of the Rays pen in 2025, was supposed to be a closer candidate last season. Instead, he missed the entire year after coming down with a sore shoulder in spring training, and now it sounds like he’s out until at least June next year.
