David Fry is making steady progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, transitioning back into the Cleveland Guardians' lineup as a designated hitter. Although he misses playing in the field, his elbow is feeling strong as he continues to throw and is eyeing a return to first base soon. Fry's versatility, usually switching between catching and outfield positions, provides the Guardians with significant depth. His successful rehabilitation is focused on ensuring he can play multiple positions without compromising his arm's integrity. The Guardians hope for his full return by Opening Day 2026, allowing him to contribute strategically during the season.
