Ryan Kalish (shoulder) hopes to get clearance to swing a bat when he visits with doctors early next week in Boston.
Kalish underwent a right shoulder arthroscopy and posterior labrum repair at the end of January. While the 25-year-old outfielder said the shoulder "feels great" and is "coming along nicely," he's still likely a month or so away from game action. May 14 - 1:00 PM

Ryan Kalish is expected to need five months to fully recover from his recent shoulder surgery.

That means he probably won't be ready for live games until late May or early June. Kalish was once considered a top prospect but will struggle to make a meaningful impact in Boston this year at the age of 25.

Ryan Kalish underwent a successful right shoulder arthroscopy and posterior labrum repair on Wednesday.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles. Kalish was expected to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he'll now be out for the early part of the season. It's another tough break for someone who once looked like a future staple of Boston's outfield.

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.

Rob Bradford of WEEI.com confirms that Ryan Kalish will likely need surgery.

This confirms a report by Matthew Stucko of MiLB.com. The exact nature of the injury isn't yet clear, but Bradford hears that it isn't related to his previous neck issue. Kalish was expected to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster during spring training, but surgery would rule out that possibly. Another tough break for the 24-year-old outfielder.

The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo expects Ryan Kalish to platoon with Jonny Gomes in left field next season.

The Red Sox said after signing Gomes that they didn't plan on platooning him, but Cafardo isn't buying it. Shoulder issues have stalled Kalish's development in recent years, but he's healthy now and remains an intriguing mix of power and speed to go along with some on-base skills. Daniel Nava is another guy that could wind up seeing a good number of at-bats against right-handed pitching.

Ryan Kalish - OF - Red Sox

Ryan Kalish claims he feels the best he has in two years, and that his right shoulder has fully recovered.

Kalish played in just 36 games with the Red Sox in 2012, hitting .229/.272/.260 with five RBI in 96 at-bats. If he's as healthy as he claims to be, he could compete for a corner outfield spot during spring training.

Ryan Kalish (shoulder) has been shut down for the season.

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Ryan Kalish's playing time since his call-up has been limited due to a shoulder injury.

Kalish has said that he's fine physically, but Bobby V disagrees. "His shoulder is keeping him from swinging in a game," Valentine said. "... He's not really a game-ready guy." Kalish had surgery last November to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
