Reed Undergoes Thoracic Outlet Surgery
The Rays announced Wednesday that relief pitcher Cody Reed underwent thoracic outlet surgery to correct a recurring issue with his left hand.
Reed, who was acquired by Tampa Bay from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline in 2020, has spent three different stints on the injured list, including twice this season, due to weakness in his left hand. He went on the injured list the latest time May 19 and is expected to miss the remainder of 2021.
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
