BRADENTON, Fla. — Daniel Nava had back surgery in Arizona Tuesday that will keep him out for 10 to 12 weeks.
Dr. Christopher Yeung performed a microdiscectomy, a procedure similar to a debridement that cleaned up some cartilage that was impinging on a nerve. The procedure is frequently used to address herniated discs.
Nava, a non-roster invitee, twice spent time on the disabled list last season because of back issues.
