Fantasy Impact:
Painter will likely undergo Tommy John surgery after meeting with a specialist early next week. The 20-year-old right hander was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in March and was focused on rehabbing to avoid surgery. Unfortunately a setback in early July resulted in further testing that showed Painter required surgery. He is expected to be out until at least late 2024 and possible early 2025, based on normal Tommy John surgery timeframes.
