Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal, who has played for much of the second half of the season with an injured left shoulder, said he could have surgery as early as next week.
"We are basically going to look it over," Grandal said. "We're doing pre-op on Tuesday and see how that goes. If the doc thinks we need to operate, then we'll do that Wednesday."
Grandal visibly cringed after a swing in Game 3, but he started at catcher in Game 5. He was hitless in two at-bats, both strikeouts, and walked once. He took just one swing, a foul tip that was caught for strike three.
