San Diego Padres pitching prospect Humberto Cruz (elbow) underwent an internal-brace procedure last week to repair his UCL, officially ending his season, and with a nine- to 12-month recovery timeline, it likely will cause him to miss most of next season as well. The Padres' third-ranked prospect is just 18 years old, though, so he has plenty of time to make a full recovery and continue his climb towards the majors. The right-hander made 14 starts this year between the Complex League and Single-A, recording a 7.58 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 10.5 percent K-BB% in 38 innings pitched.--Jarod RuppRead More News
