Wade Townsend undergoes shoulder surgery
By john • Nov 17th, 2008 • Category: minor leagues, tampa bay rays, wade townsendThe 2009 season will be a lost season for Tampa Bay Rays prospect Wade Townsend. Townsend who was a first round pick in 2005 out of Rice University underwent shoulder surgery on his right shoulder.
Townsend, 25, has done his share of rehabbing during his professional career. The former Rice standout spent the 2006 season working his way back from Tommy John Surgery, and was shut down in August 2007 due to arm soreness.
Townsend went a combined 1-6 with a 6.08 ERA with both Class-A Vero and Class-AA Montgomery in 2008. He made three starts in the Arizona Fall League, going 2-0 with an 8.44 ERA before getting shut down.
