Xavier Isaac, the Tampa Bay Rays top prospect, underwent life-saving brain surgery, cutting his 2025 season short. Despite the serious health issue, Isaac is recovering well and expected to continue his baseball career without long-term limitations. The 21-year-old, a first-round draft pick in 2022, showed impressive numbers in 2024, hitting 18 home runs and driving in 78 runs. The Rays will take a cautious approach with Isaacs return in 2026 as he fully recovers from the surgery.
