SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Rangers shortstop prospect Sebastian Walcott had elbow surgery on Monday and could return to play before the end of the 2026 season.
The club said the 19-year-old Walcott had an internal brace placed on his right elbow, a procedure considered less severe than a full elbow reconstruction. The Rangers estimate Walcott will be out five-to-six months, leaving the possibility of him being able to play at some point this year.
Walcott is the No. 7 prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. He hit .255 with 13 home runs, 59 RBIs and 32 stolen bases at Double-A Frisco last year.
He was a non-roster invitee to spring training before reporting elbow discomfort that led to the surgery.
