Austin Maddox had an impressive start to his MLB career in 2017, so impressive that the Boston Red Sox included the 27-year-old on the postseason roster. Maddox was limited to a mere 13 games, producing a stat line of 17.1 IP, 14 K, 2 BB, 1 ER, but the promise was there until shoulder miseries derailed him in 2018.
Maddox had two rehabilitation assignment early in the season at Pawtucket (AAA) and Portland (AA) and accomplished little except to be placed on the 60-day disabled list. On August 16, Maddox was sent to the Red Sox Gulf Coast League (RK) where he has appeared in two games.
