"This marks the second major surgery of Brito's 2025 campaign, as he missed close to two months recovering from thumb surgery. Returning to action with Triple-A Columbus near the end of June, he appeared in just eight more games with the Clippers before being sidelined again by a left hamstring strain. Brito had resumed baseball activities a few weeks ago, but seemingly with little progress, so the decision was made to fully address the injury with surgery."
"Brito will conclude his season with just 31 games played - 24 in Triple-A ball, and seven on a rehab assignment with the Guardians' rookie league affiliate. He still hit well (.256/.357/.463) over his 99 plate appearances in Columbus, yet that isn't much consolation given that Brito posted similar numbers over a full Triple-A season in 2024, and looked set to make his big league debut this year."
Juan Brito will miss the remainder of 2025 after undergoing surgery on his damaged left hamstring, with an expected 8–12 week recovery. This is Brito's second major procedure of the year after missing nearly two months for thumb surgery. He returned to Triple-A Columbus late in June but played only 31 games total (24 in Triple-A, seven on a rehab assignment). Brito hit .256/.357/.463 across 99 plate appearances in Columbus, comparable to his 2024 Triple-A production. He was optioned to Triple-A before Opening Day despite spring chatter about a major-league role, and Cleveland's second-base options have combined for 0.6 bWAR, ranking 23rd.
