Dunn missed the entire 2023 season due to ongoing shoulder issues and ultimately wound up undergoing surgery in earlier September. The 28-year-old right-hander was an intriguing pitching prospect just a few years ago, but he’s been limited to just seven starts over the last two seasons combined.

Dunn wound up missing the entire 2023 season due to shoulder woes — and ultimately underwent surgery in early September to repair the anterior capsule in his right shoulder. It remains unclear how long he’ll be sidelined of if he’ll be ready to work in some capacity during spring training.

Dunn has been out all season with a shoulder injury and apparently didn’t bounce back well from his recent attempt from a rehab assignment. There’s no clear timetable for his return at this time.
