Oakland Athletics’ starter Drew Pomeranz is considering undergoing shoulder surgery during the off-season, according to MLB.com’s Jane Lee.
“A’s left-hander Drew Pomeranz will consider undergoing a clavicle resection to treat impingement in the AC joint of his throwing shoulder, as recommended by team orthopedist Will Workman.”
Pomeranz, who posted a 2.61 ERA after being moved to the bullpen, has yet to decide if he will go through with the procedure. It’s possible that he may opt out, instead choosing to rest his arm. Lee noted that Pomeranz will seek a second opinion, but if he does go through with the surgery, it typically involves a six-week recovery period.
