Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Carson Smith(shoulder) underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder and is officially out for the 2018 season. Smith injured his throwing shoulder by throwing his glove at the bench in anger. After receiving three opinions on his shoulder, it was deemed surgery was necessary. Smith has thrown just 23 2/3 innings for the Red Sox after being acquired in a trade back in December of 2015. It is unclear if Smith will be ready for opening day and he may be a non-tender candidate this offseason.
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Carson Smith (shoulder) will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery on Wednesday. Smith was injured while throwing his glove in frustration. Manager Alex Cora said Smith is likely done for the season. Smith was not really worth owning in fantasy leagues anyway, but should be dropped in all leagues now.
Boston Red Sox reliever Carson Smith (shoulder) received a second opinion from Dr. Altchek on Monday, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. Evidently it was not the news he had hoped to receive as now Smith wants a third opinion. This next opinion is requested to determine if surgery is necessary. Smith injured the shoulder while in the dugout throwing his glove in frustration. Now he is expected to miss an extended amount of time with surgery and/or recovery. This negatively affects what was already considered a weakness of the Red Sox pitching staff.
