Drey Jameson is a year removed from undergoing Tommy John surgery, but there probably won’t be room for him in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ starting rotation when he returns in 2025.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are flush with starting pitching heading into 2025, meaning they may have to get creative with how they utilize their numerous arms.
That leaves 27-year-old right-hander Drey Jameson without a clear path back to the rotation as he continues to recover from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in September 2023. As a result,Jameson, who is expected to be ready to go by Spring Training, will have gone over 19 months without throwing in a game by the time pitchers and catchers report. Pushing a starter's load upon the righty in 2025 feels like a stretch, while easing him back into things could lead to a smoother return.
Jameson proveeded to go 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA, 1.258 WHIP and a hold between May 29 and June 29, right in the leadup to his elbow injury. And while 58 of Jameson's 60 career appearances in the minors have come as a starter, he owns a 5.34 ERA and 1.396 WHIP from Low-A all the way up to Triple-A.
