Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Brent Honeywell (elbow) had Tommy John surgery Tuesday morning, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Topkin also reported that the surgery with Dr. James Andrews was "successful." Honeywell is a consensus top-15 prospect in baseball and is coming off of a 2017 season where he went 13-9 with a 3.49 ERA for Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham, striking out 172 batters in 136 2/3 innings. He will miss the entire 2018 season, but he is still worthy of a stash in dynasty leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher prospect Brent Honeywell (elbow) has a torn UCL, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Topkin says that Honeywell has had Tommy John surgery suggested, but that he will get a second opinion. It is highly likely that Honeywell will get the surgery as soon as possible, ending his 2018 season. Topkin said earlier on Thursday that Honeywell may have a serious injury and an MRI for this injury showed a torn UCL. On Thursday, manager Kevin Cash said, "Obviously it's unfortunate. We'll let the doctors and trainers get a look at him." Honeywell was "8-10 pitches into his BP session, threw a pitch, and cursed loudly a couple times," according to an earlier report from Topkin.

Topkin said earlier that Honeywell may have a serious injury and there is a good chance that Cash is just downplaying something a lot worse.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Brent Honeywell was added to the 40-man roster this winter and is looking to make an impact this season, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Honeywell, who was 12-8 with a 3.64 ERA in 24 starts at Triple-A Durham and won the MVP award at the All-Star Futures Game last season, may not have a rotation spot for the Rays to open the season but is still excited for big league camp. "Big league camp is big league camp, it's not major league baseball,'' Honeywell said Saturday at the Trop. "There's nothing better than major league baseball. Major league camp is major league camp, minor league camp is minor league camp, Fan Fest is Fan Fest. It's not major league baseball. This jersey has not been worn in a major league game yet.'' Honeywell will likely start the season at Durham unless the Rays trade both starters Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer this offseason (which is still a possibility), but he will be a high-impact arm when he makes it to the big leagues. He might not be a good player to draft, but if you have a minor league spot, stash him in the later rounds.
