The first round draft pick by the Red Sox in 2007 will undergo Tommy John surgery and be out for the remainder of the year, SoxProspects.com reports. Hagadone started 10 games for the Lowell Spinners last year and had a 1.85 ERA in 24.1 IP, eight walks and 33 strikeouts. He was off to a fast start for Greenville (high-A) this year as the 22-year old was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA, six walks and 12 strikeouts in three starts (10 IP). He has the talent to make the bigs as a reliever but the team was hopeful he would make it as a starter. I would venture this sets that notion back significantly.
Also, Sox on Deck notes that Bobby Kielty will be out for up to six weeks
