Red Sox activated OF Ryan Kalish from the 60-day disabled list.

Once a top prospect, Kalish has been limited to just 93 games since the beginning of 2011 due to a variety of maladies. Kalish missed this past season due to a right shoulder injury and underwent cervical fusion surgery on his back in August. A change of scenery might do him well, but it of course wouldn't automatically turn Kalish into Mr. Durability.

Ryan Kalish (shoulder, back) is hopeful to be medically cleared by spring training.

Kalish has been out all season due to a right shoulder injury and underwent cervical fusion surgery on his back Tuesday. "Unfortunate," manager John Farrell said. "Obviously it's of some severity, and hopefully through the rehab, he gets back to the player that he was when he first came up." Once a promising prospect, Kalish has been limited to just 93 games since the beginning of 2011 due to various injuries.

Ryan Kalish (shoulder) will undergo cervical fusion surgery on his back Tuesday.

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.

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.

According to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe, Ryan Kalish claims he feels the best he has in two years, and that he's fully regained strength in his injured right shoulder.

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, he could compete for a corner outfield spot during spring training.

Kalish was hitting .232/.254/.268 through 17 games with the Red Sox and was expendable with Ryan Sweeney returning to man center field. He's best served by playing everyday at Triple-A where he'll continue to serve as outfield depth for the Sox.
