Top Rangers prospect Sebastian Walcott has elbow surgery, could return before end of season

Texas Rangers shortstop prospect Sebastian Walcott had elbow surgery on Monday and could return to play before the end of the 2026 season. The club said the 19-year-old Walcott had an internal brace placed on his right elbow, a procedure considered less severe than a full elbow reconstruction. The Rangers estimate Walcott will be out five-to-six months, leaving the possibility of him being able to play at some point this year.
