Marco Gonzales addressed the media today to announce that he will have season-ending surgery to address the lingering nerve issue that’s kept him out since June. The surgery will officially end his 2023 season, but the good news is the recovery period for this surgery—which he referred to as a “clean-out” procedure—is much shorter than a “repair” procedure, like a tendon repair (Tommy John, for example), so Gonzales expects to be able to go through his normal ramp-up procedure and anticipates a regular start to spring training. Dr. Steven Shin, who also performed a procedure on Cal Raleigh’s thumb after the 2022 season, will do the surgery.
