The 2024 playoffs have reached the final four teams: the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets in the National League, and the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees in the American League. With the end of the season on September 29, many teams are now focused on player health, with reports of surgeries surfacing.

One notable case is Adam Frazier of the Kansas City Royals, who played through a thumb injury this season. Despite the pain, he managed to participate in 104 games, but will now undergo surgery. His future with the Royals remains uncertain as they evaluate their roster for the next season.
