It’s usually not a good thing when a surgeon becomes a household name among a team’s fanbase. This is becoming the case for the Detroit Tigers, who announced that both Christin Stewart and Jordan Zimmermann underwent core muscle repair surgery with Dr. William Meyers, a specialist in Philadelphia. Dr. Meyers has operated on several Tigers in recent years, including Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, and Justin Verlander.
The surgery isn’t a huge surprise for Stewart, who missed the final few games of the regular season with an abdominal injury.
