Rays Journal: Prospect Brent Honeywell set back again with nerve issue
Charlie Morton started for the Rays on Tuesday in the first 2019 game of the Citrus Series. [LYNNE SLADKY | Associated Press]MIAMI - Brent Honeywell’s comeback from spring 2018 Tommy John surgery is stalled again.
A Monday visit to Dr. James Andrews confirmed a nerve irritation in his upper arm, and he will remain shut down from throwing for another week and then re-evaluated.
Honeywell, 24, was initially sidelined in mid-April due to right elbow discomfort, checked out and allowed to resume playing catch, but then developed the latest issue.
The Rays do not appear overly concerned, and note the issue is not structural or connected to the elbow ligament surgery, though could be related.
