Devon Travis to have shoulder surgery and miss start of ST

[Krylian]

When they put him on the 60 Day DL 3 months ago did he have surgery then? Is this a second surgery? Please tell me they didn't sit on this for 3 months and only now got around to it.

Honestly I am thinking the same thing. Why has it taken so long to have the surgery. Now he prob wont be ready for Opening Day

I thought he already has "exploratory" surgery a couple months ago. Perhaps they didn't find anything then.

His fracture is nonunion and I guess that couldn't have been determined then, as they thought it would heal on its own. Without proper blood flow to the injured area it won't heal, thus being a "nonunion" fracture. A small plate is screwed down to allow a stable environment where proper blood flow is reestablished. They waited because it's always best to try to avoid surgery, but in this case it was necessary.

 

The bone will heal, but let's hope he doesn't lose any mobility. He's a young healthy athlete with the best rehabilitation sources at his feet. He'll be fine.

Well I guess Pillar's going to have to leadoff this season...

 

I actually laughed out loud

where did you read about him having a fracture? From what i've read this is a birth defect of his bone not fusing together while developing as a child, and it might not even be the cause of his pain.

 

The surgery included placing inserting screws into the infielder's shoulder to stabilize an extra bone in his shoulder, due to a condition known as Os Acromiale - non-union of the acromion bone. According to the to the team, the pre-existing condition did not contribute to the inflammation experienced this season.

 

The acromion is the most prominent bone on the top of your shoulder. You can feel it easily. The acromion developes as four separate parts during childhood. These have all joined together (fuse) by the age of 25 years in most people. However, in 8% of people one or more of the parts do not fuse.

Anybody specify what Travis's injury actually is? At the beginning of his injury it was stated some were that it was his clavicle and then at the end of the year a cyst?.....

[CHRIS]

Need to get him on the Stroman rehab program.

I wish. I really want to see what Travis can do in a full season at 2B.

[fatcowxlive]

Zobrist. He would provide depth in the OF too. Although it would never happen.

 

I think the Yankees are going to make the biggest push for Zobrist

Oh wow, i didn't realize it was a pre existing condition. I assumed it was fractured from the hot shot he took, which coincidentally hit him right in that same region.

I was confused as well, he did have surgery to clean up the collarbone, this like you said, is from the same area, he should be fine by camp, or close to it.
