Rockies left-handed prospect Drew Pomeranz underwent an emergency appendectomy Saturday evening.
He's very likely out for the season. Pomeranz, the prize acquired from the Indians in the Ubaldo Jimenez deal, would finish this season 4-3 with a 1.84 ERA over 19 starts covering 98 innings between High-A and Double-A. The 2010 first-round pick has all the makings of a future ace but will probably have to wait until next season to continue his development.
Looks like the prize of the Jimenez deal only got one start in for the Rockies before his season ending surgery. He pitched a seven inning 2-hitter at AA.
