Trevor Oaks Undergoes Hip Surgery

By Jeff Todd | March 7, 2019 at 6:04pm CDT

Royals righty Trevor Oaks has undergone surgery to repair a tear in his hip labrum, MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan reports on Twitter. The news was largely expected by this point, though it remains a disappointing outcome for the 25-year-old.

Oaks was primed to compete in camp for a rotation spot — or, more likely, a place on the depth chart at Triple-A. Having debuted in the majors last season, his first with the Royals after an early-2018 trade, he was certainly a candidate to see substantial time in a K.C. rotation that will enter the season with loads of uncertainty.

Instead, Oaks will miss most or all of the coming season while working back from a procedure that turned out to be “a little more extensive” than originally anticipated. It is believed that he’ll be able to get back to baseball activities in four months’ time, though the timeline up to and past that point will depend upon his actual progression.

Whether Oaks will return to competitive action in 2019, let alone do so at the MLB level, remains to be seen. The Royals will surely prioritize his long-term health as the rehab unfolds. Though Oaks is not regarded as a particularly high-upside pitching prospect, he has had some success in the upper minors with a groundball-heavy approach. Through 275 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level, Oaks carries a 3.30 ERA with 6.2 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9.

    yes, because Oaks and A-Rod are carbon copies. chalk down Oaks for the HOF and for being a future Yankee.

      Trevor Oaks, who pitched in the Major Leagues and was a Top 10 Round pick, unlike you. Get off of your mother’s iPad and stop leaving idiotic posts. Losers like you seem to take pride in putting down successful individuals. Maybe that’s why you’re where you are….

        What is a Top 10 round pick?
        “He was a 7th round pick, unlike you”
        English is a skill. Now take a break and go upstairs and get an oatmeal raisin cookie, mommy said they are done.

    If the royals keep him on the major league team and put him on the 60 day IL(no longer DL). That will leave 2 open 40 man roster spots bc him and salvy. What do you guys think the royals will do with those spots?
