Mon Aug 29 2011 | 19:45 | Feliciano may need surgery on shoulder |
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Monday that Pedro Feliciano may need surgery to repair a torn capsule in his left shoulder. |
Feliciano was scratched from a scheduled rehab appearance due to "bad soreness" in his shoulder. "I don't know if he'll try to get through this, try again, or if he's going to have surgery," said Girardi. "If he has surgery, he's gonna miss a whole year anyway, and it might be career." Feliciano signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Yankees over the winter, but it's very possible he'll never throw a pitch for the team. |
