Boston's top pitching prospect, lefty
Jay Groome,
will undergo Tommy John surgery next week. Next Tuesday the reconstructive surgery on his ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow will be performed at
Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles, CA. This is a serious blow to the 19-year-old's career path—which has been plagued by injury to this point. Groome is ranked as the #1
overall Red Sox prospect by the authoritative
SoxProspects.com.
