Mickey Gasper to undergo surgery after tearing right biceps

Boston Red Sox infielder and catcher Mickey Gasper will undergo surgery on his right biceps after suffering a full-thickness tear. The injury occurred during a game against the Chicago Cubs at Fenway Park, where a two-strike swing caused the tendon to separate entirely from the bone.

As a result of the injury, Gasper has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 26, and has been excluded from the Red Sox playoff roster. The injury marks a significant setback for the 30-year-old, who had experienced a late-season surge, including hitting 10 home runs in 106 plate appearances during August.

Medical professionals indicate that surgery is required to repair the tear. Recovery is expected to take approximately six to eight weeks, which should allow Gasper to participate in offseason training and be ready for the 2027 season.
