Rangers’ general manager Chris Young told reporters on Thursday that top prospect Sebastian Walcott will undergo surgery to repair a UCL tear in his elbow.
The 19-year-old shortstop was shut down during the Arizona Fall League due to what had been termed as arm fatigue. It seems there was a more serious underlying elbow issue at play. The Rangers are hopeful that he’ll be able to undergo the internal brace procedure rather than the full Tommy John surgery, which would give him a quicker timeline to return. Either way though, Walcott is expected to miss the bulk of the 2026 season while recovering.
