Maddox informed the Red Sox of his intention to retire Thursday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox looked like he might have become a long-term piece in the Boston bullpen after posting an 0.52 ERA and 0.87 over 17.1 innings in the majors in 2017, but he never made another appearance for the big club due to shoulder issues. He battled inflammation for much of the 2018 campaign before undergoing rotator cuff surgery that September. Maddox missed the entire 2019 season as a result and apparently wasn't satisfied with where he stood in his recovery this spring, prompting him to call it a career.

Maddox (shoulder) was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox will lose his place on the 40-man roster to make room for other prospects who needed protecting from the Rule 5 draft. He underwent surgery on his right rotator cuff near the end of September and is slated to miss the entire 2019 season while rehabbing.

Maddox underwent rotator cuff surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday and is expected to miss the entire 2019 season recovering, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox missed the 2018 campaign due to shoulder inflammation and appeared to have suffered the rotator cuff injury while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket in late August. Unfortunately, this procedure holds a timetable of 12 months, so Maddox will likely miss two full seasons due to shoulder issues.

Maddox (shoulder) was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox made three rehab appearances, allowing five runs on seven hits through two innings over those outings. At this point, it's unclear if the right-hander suffered a setback or if the Red Sox simply want him to rehab with the team over the next few days before returning when rosters expand in September. He's been on the shelf all season with a shoulder issue.

Maddox (shoulder) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Red Sox on Thursday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox, who has been on the disabled list all season, is finally ready to return to game action after being pulled off a rehab assignment in late May. Given the length of his absence, the right-hander will likely need to make multiple appearances before being cleared to rejoin the big-league bullpen.

The Red Sox transferred Maddox to the 60-day disabled list Sunday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox has been stuck on the DL all season and has already missed the requisite 60 days, so the transaction won't alter his return timeline. The right-hander was pulled off a rehab assignment in late May and has been limited to throwing off flat ground to this point in his recovery. It's unlikely that he'll be an option for Boston's bullpen until August at the earliest.

Maddox (shoulder) was able to resume throwing by playing catch Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program in the near future, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
