Outrighted after clearing waivers
The Rays outrighted Van Belle (elbow) to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.
Analysis
Van Belle was diagnosed with a UCL sprain in September, and Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the righty had surgery and will miss all of the 2026 season. It's unclear what specific procedure he had, but if it was Tommy John, it would be the second of his career. Van Belle will remain in the organization while he rehabs.
