Outfielder Yasmany Tomas will undergo surgery on Tuesday in Philadelphia for the nagging upper-leg injury that has bothered him since May, a procedure that will bring an early end to his season.
Tomas will have what manager Torey Lovullo described as “core” surgery; it’s to address an injury often referring to as a sports hernia. The Diamondbacks had been referring to his issues as groin injuries.
Tomas entered the year with high expectations. He had a big second half of the 2016 season, and the Diamondbacks were hopeful he would carry over that production into this season.
