• Red Sox's Luis Perales: Tommy John surgery completed

  07/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Perales (elbow) underwent a full UCL reconstruction surgery last week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. As anticipated, Perales required a traditional Tommy John surgery to repair the damage ligament in his right elbow rather than an internal brace procedure. As a result, Perales is unlikely to be ready to pitch late in the 2025 season, whereas an internal brace procedure would have resulted in a shorter timeline that could have put him in line to pitch at some point after the All-Star break in 2025. The 21-year-old -- who is regarded as one of the Red Sox's top pitching prospects -- should be back to full health in advance of spring training in 2026.

  06/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Perales (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Perales had to leave a start at Double-A Portland earlier this month with an elbow injury, and subsequent testing has revealed the bad news. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined at least until late in the 2025 season, if not 2026. Perales held a 2.94 ERA and 56:12 K:BB over 33.2 innings between High-A Greenville and Portland this season.

  Perales was removed from Saturday's start at Double-A Portland with an injury to his throwing arm, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports. Perales stepped off the mound after throwing a pitch and was hanging his throwing arm. He was visited by a trainer for a brief moment before exiting to the dugout. Saturday's outing was just Perales' second at Double-A and he tossed five scoreless innings with seven punchouts in his Portland debut. An update on his status should come later this week.

• Red Sox's Luis Perales: Optioned to Triple-A

  03/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox optioned Perales to Triple-A Worcester on Friday. The 20-year-old was added to Boston's 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from being selected in the Rule 5 Draft, but he was never a realistic candidate to make the Opening Day roster. Perales split last season between the Single-A and High-A levels, posting a 3.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 115:50 K:BB across 89.2 innings.
