Garrett Whitley Undergoes Labrum Surgery

By Jeff Todd | March 30, 2018 at 9:51pm CDT

Rays outfield prospect Garrett Whitley has undergone surgery to his right labrum, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports (Twitter links). The recovery will cost him all of the coming season.

The 13th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Whitley has not exactly flown up the ladder in the Tampa Bay system. But he still rates as one of the team’s better prospects.

Last year, the toolsy 21-year-old turned in a .249/.362/.430 slash with 13 home runs and 21 steals at the Class A level — easily his best output as a professional. It’s certainly disappointing that he’ll miss a season of development right at the point when he seemed ready to push into the upper minors.

    Interesting. First non-pitcher I’ve seen hit with this injury.

      Matt Kemp. Michael Brantley. Numerous others. It’s the worst injury possible for a throwing athlete. While the ACL gets all of the hype, labrum injuries are by far the most damaging to throwing athletes.
