Six days removed from brain surgery, Braylen Wimmer went to therapy with his tee.

The Rockies prospect had an awake craniotomy on Nov. 19 to remove a cancerous tumor that was found after he had a seizure while in Scottsdale for the Arizona Fall League a few weeks prior. After his surgery, Wimmer suffered another seizure, landing him back in the hospital.

The day after he was released from his second hospital stay, Nov. 25, Wimmer couldn’t help but get a bat in his hands even though he hadn’t yet regained full control of his speech.
