SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants catcher Buster Posey announced Friday that he will undergo season-ending hip surgery on Monday that he hopes will help him regain his full range of skilll as a hitter.
The procedure could delay the start of Posey's participation in the 2019 season. Posey said that Dave Groeschner, the Giants' senior director of athletic training, told him that he could be sidelined for six to eight months.
"So if things go smoothly with no hiccups, I'll be ready to go next Opening Day," said Posey, 31.
