Red Sox's Mickey Gasper Has Surgery to Repair Right Biceps Tendon
The first baseman/catcher's abrupt finale exit and playoff no-show finally make sense.
Quick one today, but it's a real one.
Mickey Gasper had surgery to repair his right biceps tendon, per ESPN. That explains the mystery that's been sitting there since the regular season wrapped: Gasper left the finale and simply never came back. No playoff appearances. No update. Just silence.
Now we know why.
A biceps tendon repair isn't a shrug-it-off procedure. This is a real offseason project for a guy who gives this roster flexibility behind the plate and at first base. Losing that kind of multi-position piece for any stretch is a dent — not a crisis, but a dent.
That's the Sox notebook for now. One story, but it's the one that matters today.
