NEW YORK -- San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey might need hip surgery that would end his season.
Giants general manager Bobby Evans said Tuesday that "we have discussed the possibility."
The San Francisco Chronicle first reported on Posey's situation.
Posey has been dealing with hip trouble this season. A six-time All-Star, he got a cortisone injection and missed last month's showcase game.
The 31-year-old Posey didn't start Tuesday night against the New York Mets after catching all 13 innings in a win Monday.
