Red Sox Rookie Early Has No Structural Elbow Damage But No Return Timeline
Connelly Early remains on the IL with elbow inflammation. A specialist visit cleared him of structural damage, but he still can't throw.
Red Sox lefty Connelly Early has been on the 15-day IL since July 1 with elbow inflammation. A follow-up with Dr. Keith Meister confirmed no structural damage. However, Early has not yet resumed throwing and no timetable has been established, as he is waiting for the discomfort to fully subside. Early had posted a 3.44 ERA over 91.2 innings before going down, making his absence a meaningful loss for a Boston rotation already thin due to injuries to Garrett Crochet and Brayan Bello.
