The 28-year-old right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 26, one day after he was hurt during a game against the Colorado Rockies. General manager Mike Elias announced the planned surgery. Bautista also agreed to a $2 million, two-year contract. He would have been eligible for salary arbitration after the 2024 season.
