David Fry, an All-Star utility player for the Cleveland Guardians, recently underwent reconstructive elbow surgery and faces a recovery timeline of 6 to 8 months before he can return as a designated hitter. His surgery took place on October 30 in Dallas, following a season where he struggled with elbow pain.

Fry played a pivotal role in the postseason, notably hitting a crucial homer against the Detroit Tigers and a walk-off shot against the New York Yankees. The Guardians also made several roster adjustments, including activating pitchers from the injured list.
