Tigers' Shane Greene will undergo season-ending surgery on Thursday

DETROIT -- Shane Greene's season is over. He will have surgery on his right arm to repair the pseudoaneurysm in the circumflex artery in his right shoulder on Thursday morning. It is a season-ending surgery, Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus confirmed prior to Wednesday night's game.

The surgery is being performed as a result of numbness that Greene had been feeling throughout the year in his right hand. Dr. Greg Pearl at the Texas Vascular Associates in Dallas, Texas will perform the surgery.

The injury is not career-threatening, according to head athletic trainer Kevin Rand.
