The Miami Marlins announced that former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Griffin Conine will likely need season ending surgery after injuring his shoulder.
The season only began a month ago but players have been going down like flies as even the Blue Jays have had a ton of injuries so far especially when it comes to their pitchers.
Former Blue Jays outfielder Griffin Conine's season is likely done as he needs surgery
The Marlins announced that after Conine left a game against the Phillies, he was headed to see a specialist regarding a dislocated shoulder and the news only got worse from there.
The news on the Griffin Conine front was bad to start for Marlins fans Friday, with the team announcing that he would be visiting with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday when the team goes to Los Angeles to get another opinion on his dislocated left shoulder. -Kirshenbaum
According to reports, Conine will be getting surgery on Tuesday but the doctors are still not 100% sure on which surgery he will under go which they will apparently determine on Monday.
It didn't take long for the news to get worse, though, and the follow-up came as the Marlins began their series opener against the Mariners: Conine will indeed visit ElAttrache on Monday, but he's already scheduled for surgery Tuesday. The meeting with the specialist is just to determine the exact operation Conine will undergo. -Kirshenbaum
This is disappointing news for the former Blue Jays outfielder as hhe was off to a decent start this season with a .281 batting average, seven doubles and a .790 OPS so far this season.
Through 20 games, Conine was hitting .281 with seven doubles and a .790 OPS. -Kirshenbaum
Hopefully Conine will not miss the entire season but when it comes to shoulder surgery, there is a solid chance that his season is done unfortunately.
