Once considered not only one of the top prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays organization, but all of baseball as well, Andrew Toles was released by the Rays in March 2015. He went on to work at a supermarket before making a remarkable climb to the Majors.
Now Toles faces another uphill battle, as an MRI exam confirmed what the Los Angeles Dodgers feared — a torn ACL in his right knee. The 24-year-old is expected to undergo surgery within two weeks. Toles will likely miss the remainder of the season and potential playoff games.
While the injury is devastating in nature, Toles is maintaining a positive outlook, via Ken Gurnick of MLB.
