Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Brent Honeywell has fractured a bone in his right elbow throwing a pitch during a bullpen session and will miss another season.
The Rays made the announcement Saturday between games of a doubleheader in Boston.
Honeywell is the No. 6 pitcher and No. 19 overall prospect in baseball, according to ESPN’s Keith Law.
The 24-year-old right-hander was at the team’s spring training complex in Port Charlotte, Florida, working his way back from Tommy John surgery in the spring of 2018. He was sidelined for the entire year.
Dr. James Andrews is scheduled to perform surgery on the bone Monday and make sure there are no complications from the elbow surgery.
There is no timetable for his return.
Honeywell was selected by the Rays in the second round of the 2014 draft, and is the No. 3 prospect on their team, according to Law.
