Scott Kingery out for season following shoulder surgery

Three seasons ago, Scott Kingery signed a six-year, $24 million contract — the largest ever for a player who had never played a single major-league game.

Since then, it has been a career full of struggles for Kingery, which continued into 2021. The 27-year-old didn’t produce in his time on the field has since suffered an injury that will keep him off it until at least next spring.

On Sunday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reported that Kingery will finish his 2021 season on the injured list after having right shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum.
