In spring training, the Red Sox were relatively lucky with the injury bug, but they did get one major blow to their farm system early on in camp. That was with Bryan Mata, who entered camp as the consensus top pitcher in the organization. The righty was feeling some discomfort in his arm and they found a tear in his UCL. At the time, it wasn’t clear the road he’d take and they were hoping he’d be able to recover through rest and rehab. They’ve changed course, and announced on Wednesday that he has indeed undergone Tommy John surgery.
