Ryan Kalish - OF - Boston Red Sox
Jan. 25, 2013 - 8:25 PM ET

Ian Browne of MLB.com reports that Ryan Kalish surgery on his right shoulder performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum next week.

Kalish was expected to compete for a spot on the Red Sox Opening Day roster, but will now be sidelined for the beginning of the season. It's another tough break for a once very promising prospect, who hasn't been able to stay on the field. The Sox signed Ryan Sweeney to a minor league deal on Friday to provide additional depth in the outfield.
