Red Sox's Conrad Cason: Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Cason underwent Tommy John surgery this week, Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster reports.
Cason pitched in just one game in the rookie-level Florida Complex League back in May and had been sidelined ever since due to arm fatigue. The 19-year-old now faces a lengthy rehab that will likely keep him off the mound until the 2027 campaign. Cason was an eighth-round pick in the 2024 Draft and is a two-way prospect at shortstop and pitcher.

Red Sox's Conrad Cason: Still missing in action
Rotowire
Cason hasn't made an appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League since May 3 due to right arm fatigue, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.
The two-way player wasn't throwing at the time Pontes issued his report in early June, although Cason had begun hitting. Cason probably has more realistic upside as a right-handed pitcher than as a shortstop at this stage of his development. The 18-year-old struck out five while issuing one walk over two no-hit innings in his one appearance on the mound and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and two strikeouts in his two games as a hitter.
