Yeah, it's early, but it's never too early to think about such stuff.

- Neither Ronald Acuna nor Spencer Strider are likely to be ready for the beginning of the 2025 season.

- And if that weren't enough, set-up man Joe Jiminez is expected to miss all or most of the season following October 29th knee surgery.

Acuna had his surgery at the beginning of June. It typically takes about a year to recover from ACL surgery. It took him 9 months to come back from his 2021 tear. So figure 10-11 months? Maybe May for Acuna.

Strider got "internal brace" surgery. Which I guess is different from Tommy John? Recovery time is 9-12 months, rather than the 12-14 months for TJ. Strider got his surgery mid April 2024.
