Honeywell missed all of 2018 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and now his 2019 is wrecked as well. It’s an awful pair of injuries for one of the more highly-touted young arms in the sport. He showed what he was capable of in the Futures Game two years ago, but now he simply cannot stay healthy.
