The Red Sox received an encouraging report on the condition of Ryan Westmoreland, who underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a cavernous malformation on the 19-year-old prospect’s brain stem.

The team released a statement on the matter:

According to Dr. Robert Spetzler, Westmoreland’s neurosurgeon and the director of Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Ryan has been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit and into the hospital’s Neuro Rehabilitation Unit, where he will undergo physical and occupational therapy.

“Ryan is right on track and we expect progressive improvement,” said Dr. Spetzler.

“We are thrilled for Ryan and his family that the surgery went so well,” said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. “While we recognize that the recovery process is long and complicated, we are excited that all of the early indications are so positive. On behalf of the Westmoreland family, we thank everybody who has expressed concern and support for Ryan.”
