Red Sox prospect Ryan Westmoreland is doing well after having surgery to repair a broken collarbone he suffered making a dramatic catch in the outfield for the Single-A Lowell Spinners last August.

The Portsmouth native is almost completely recovered from his surgery in September where he had a plate and screws inserted into his clavicle to repair the damage.

"He's doing great," said Red Sox director of player development, Mike Hazen. "He has no pain and his range of motion is back 100 percent. Everything went really well and we have no concerns right now physically."

Westmoreland will be able to begin the organization's strength training program on time right after Thanksgiving in Fort Myers, Fla. He was selected by the Sox as the 172nd overall pick in the 2008 draft and already is showing a lot of promise.

He hit .296 with 15 doubles, 3 triples, 7 homers, 35 RBI, 19 stolen bases and a .401 on-base percentage in 60 games for the Spinners last summer before the injury.
