Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas will not return from suspension after all with the club ruling him out for the remainder of the season on Wednesday to undergo elbow surgery.

Rojas was handed an 80-game suspension in March that began at the start of the regular season after he was determined to have violated the league's joint drug prevention and treatment program.

Wednesday's Phillies game against the Toronto Blue Jays was the 68th game of the suspension.

As Rojas increased baseball activities in anticipation of his return, right elbow discomfort led to imaging that revealed a UCL tear. Surgery is scheduled for the coming weeks with the 25-year-old expected to be at full strength for the start of spring training next season.

Rojas appeared in 71 games for the Phillies in 2025 and batted .224 with one home run, 18 RBIs and 12 stolen bases. In 250 career games over three seasons, all in Philadelphia, Rojas has amassed six homers, 73 RBIs and 51 stolen bases while batting .252.
