Rotowire
Morlando underwent an ulnar nerve transportation on his left elbow Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The surgery was on Morlando's non-throwing elbow and it is not considered a repair or reconstruction operation. Nevertheless, he is projected to miss 8-to-10 weeks, meaning he'll get a delayed start to his first full professional season. It's been a tough start for Morlando, who missed most of 2024 after signing with the Marlins due to a lumbar stress reaction.

Marlins' PJ Morlando: Done for season with back injury
Rotowire
Morlando will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with a lumbar stress reaction, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Morlando played just one game with Single-A Jupiter before suffering the injury. There don't appear to be any long-term concerns for the 19-year-old, but with just a month left in the minor-league season, there's simply not enough time for Morlando to make it back. The 16th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Morlando is expected to have a normal offseason.
