Earlier on Thursday, Jarret, who is at #19 on the Brewers mlb.com Pipeline rankings,

 

tweeted:

 

3 weeks post surgery today! Things are progressing very smoothly. Working hard to getting back on the field with my new teammates! #Brewers

 

Since we hadn't previously known about a surgery, Jarret was kind enough to briefly chat with my via direct message and gave me permission to copy his notes here:

 

Thanks (for the good wishes) I had to have a clean up on my left shoulder. A debridement. I had small fraying on the labrum. Looking to be game ready by All-Star break. Things are going well in my recovery process right now. Back throwing in another 5 weeks or so.

Not so great news, but note that Jarret is upbeat about how things are going. As we know, shoulder injuries are scary.
