Henderson Alvarez to undergo a second shoulder surgery
The righty's career has been derailed by injury, and this latest setback makes it unlikely he'll ever pitch in the green and gold.
Right handed pitcher Henderson Alvarez is set to undergo a second shoulder surgery per club MLB.com beat reporter Jane Lee.
— Jane Lee (@JaneMLB) September 15, 2016 Alvarez has gone the entire 2016 season without throwing a big league pitch. The lingering shoulder problem which caused Alvarez to miss the entire 2015 season is unresolved, and it's unclear how long this next operation will keep him sidelined.
Dr. Andrews will perform arthroscopic surgery on Alvarez's shoulder Tues. Extent of surgery/projected recovery time unknown until it's done.
