SAN FRANCISCO — Steven Duggar will have season-ending surgery on his torn left labrum Tuesday in Arizona — exactly a week after he suffered the injury — and is hopeful he’ll be able to return for the start of spring training in February.
Duggar said the inflammation in his shoulder has calmed down to the point where he’s not experiencing any pain right now and has better range of motion, clearing the way for him to have the procedure.
Duggar suffered the labrum tear, and a shoulder subluxation, when he dove headfirst into second base in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game against Arizona.
