Pablo Sandoval Needs Shoulder Surgery, Likely Out For Season

7:05pm: It is a “significant” procedure that requires a long rehab process
and will likely prevent Sandoval from returning this season, Peter Abraham of
the Boston Globe reports on Twitter.

6:35pm: Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval will undergo surgery on his left
shoulder, the club announced. The precise nature of the procedure is not
evident from the announcement, but Boston says it will provide more
information after it is completed by Dr. James Andrews in the coming days.

Sandoval has been on the DL since April 13th with unspecified shoulder issues
that the team calls a “strain.” He lost his starting third base job to
Travis Shaw out of camp, and was hitless in seven plate appearances in a
reserve capacity.

The hope will be that the procedure, and the time away that it will afford
the 29-year-old, can help spark a turnaround. Sandoval has long been dogged
by struggles to keep his weight in check, and that has increasingly seemed to
be a major problem since he signed with Boston.

In 505 plate appearances last year, Sandoval slashed just .245/.292/.366 and
didn’t appear to be headed for much improvement this spring. He also
received terrible ratings from both UZR and DRS for his glovework at third in
2015 after previously rating as an average or better defender.

Boston, of course, remains on the hook for Sandoval’s contract, which
includes $17MM this year and $58MM more thereafter, including a buyout on the
club’s 2020 option. That looks like wasted payroll space as things stand,
but Sandoval is young enough and has a long enough track record of success to
believe that some value can still be reaped if he can get his mind and body
back into playing shape.
