Over his three rehab outings in the FCL, Johnson struck out four batters across 4.2 scoreless innings.

Rays' Marcus Johnson: Out after elbow surgery
Rotowire
Johnson underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow and was placed on the minor-league 60-day injured list Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.
Johnson made 26 appearances at the Single-A level last season and had a 3.74 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 114:21 K:BB across 130 innings, but he won't be available to begin 2024. It's unclear how long the right-hander will be sidelined, but he'll miss at least the first two months of the season.
