Red Sox's Austin Maddox: Retiring from baseball
Maddox informed the Red Sox of his intention to retire Thursday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
Maddox looked like he might have become a long-term piece in the Boston bullpen after posting an 0.52 ERA and 0.87 over 17.1 innings in the majors in 2017, but he never made another appearance for the big club due to shoulder issues. He battled inflammation for much of the 2018 campaign before undergoing rotator cuff surgery that September. Maddox missed the entire 2019 season as a result and apparently wasn't satisfied with where he stood in his recovery this spring, prompting him to call it a career.

Red Sox's Austin Maddox: Undergoes shoulder surgery
Maddox underwent rotator cuff surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday and is expected to miss the entire 2019 season recovering, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Maddox missed the 2018 campaign due to shoulder inflammation and appeared to have suffered the rotator cuff injury while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket in late August. Unfortunately, this procedure holds a timetable of 12 months, so Maddox will likely miss two full seasons due to shoulder issues.

Red Sox's Austin Maddox: Returned from rehab, still on DL
Maddox (shoulder) was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday.
Maddox made three rehab appearances, allowing five runs on seven hits through two innings over those outings. At this point, it's unclear if the right-hander suffered a setback or if the Red Sox simply want him to rehab with the team over the next few days before returning when rosters expand in September. He's been on the shelf all season with a shoulder issue.

Maddox, who has been on the disabled list all season, is finally ready to return to game action after being pulled off a rehab assignment in late May.

Red Sox's Austin Maddox: Shifts to 60-day DL
The Red Sox transferred Maddox (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list Sunday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Maddox has been stuck on the DL all season and has already missed the requisite 60 days, so the transaction won't alter his return timeline. The right-hander was pulled off a rehab assignment in late May and has been limited to throwing off flat ground to this point in his recovery. It's unlikely that he'll be an option for Boston's bullpen until August at the earliest.

Red Sox's Austin Maddox: To throw bullpen Monday
Maddox (shoulder inflammation) said Friday that he feels fine and will throw a bullpen Monday before getting into a game shortly after, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
The 26-year-old righty notched a 0.52 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB in 17.1 innings in his first season in the majors last year. Despite that success, he is a not assured a spot on the 25-man roster when spring training ends. Look for him to be an up-and-down middle-relief arm this year.
