06/05: Posada Probably Needs Surgery After Season
Posted by: Patrick
Bryan Hoch reports that Jorge Posada will probably need surgery after the season.
Meanwhile, Posada is back today with Dan Giese optioned to make room.
After the season, Posada believes, he will need a procedure on the shoulder, which was cut open by Dr. James Andrews in November 2001 to repair a small tear in the labrum.
Andrews was one of the doctors whom Posada consulted when he resignedly admitted in late April that he would need to go on the disabled list for the first time in his Major League career.
"There's no discomfort, but, obviously, something is messed up in there," Posada said. "We're going to have to get that fixed after the season. ... From now on, at this point, I'm good enough to do the job."
