Henderson Alvarez Undergoes Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery

By Steve Adams | July 28, 2015 at 9:10pm CDT

Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a tear in his right shoulder, manager Dan Jennings told reporters today. As MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro writes, Dr. James Andrews performed the operation, and there’s no timetable for his recovery at this juncture. It’s possible, though, that Alvarez’s readiness for the 2016 season could be impacted, according to Frisaro.

As was reported last week, Alvarez experienced a setback in his most recent attempt to rehab the shoulder, which brought his season into question. The 25-year-old was Miami’s Opening Day starter, but he’ll finish the 2015 season with just 22 1/3 innings, four starts and a dismal 6.45 ERA under his belt.

Originally acquired from the Blue Jays in the Jose Reyes/Mark Buehrle/Josh Johnson blockbuster in the 2012-13 offseason, Alvarez looked to be an increasingly important member of the Marlins’ rotation in 2013-14 (and he may very well still be), as he tossed 102 2/3 innings of 3.59 ERA ball in 2013 and showed improved results (2.65 ERA) with an increased workload (187 2/3 innings) in 2014. The young righty’s season-ending no-hitter served as one of the bright spots to the 2013 campaign for the Marlins.

Alvarez and his now-former agents at Praver-Shapiro agreed to a $4MM contract this offseason, avoiding arbitration with Miami. He and his new agents at Beverly Hills Sports Council won’t have much of a case for a big raise this winter, so Alvarez will likely earn a very similar amount in 2016.

Given Alvarez’s injury and the likely departures of Dan Haren and Mat Latos (presumably via trade), pitching depth figures to be an area of focus for Miami this offseason. The Marlins do have Jose Fernandez, Tom Koehler, David Phelps, Brad Hand, Jarred Cosart, Jose Urena and Justin Nicolino as rotation options, but that group is lacking in both experience and certainty.

    Dang. I was hoping to see the final piece of his last day of the season no hitter trilogy. Oh well, maybe in 2016.

    Ozuna is at AAA
    Stanton is out
    Cishek is gone
    Alvarez is out
    they didn’t get Fernandez until mid season
    Salty was so bad they DFA’d him
    Morse looks like a bust
    Cosart hasn’t been good when healthy, but hasn’t been healthy in a while.

    nothing is going well for the Marlins

      Recovery from TJ is more of a sure thing these days than shoulder repairs

    So, does Dr. Andrew basically do all these surgeries? Does he have a central office or does he travel all around the country? Really interesting details you never hear about.

    Well, maybe if we hadn’t made incredibly poor decisions, with the exception of the Prado and Phelps deal, we wouldn’t be too worried about depth issues, which we now have all over the place. Not only did we give away all of our cheap, young depth, especially for stuff we already had, the only money we actually spent was on Michael Morse, which never made sense in any universe, ever, and is literally making the same incredibly horrible mistake 3 times in 5 years. We replaced a horrible in game manager, good players manager, with a somehow even worse version of the same, and it’s a lot worse, mostly b/c Dan Jennings, a good scout, decided he was going to manage now. The injuries have hurt, but maybe if we had the depth we got rid of, it wouldn’t be as big of an issue. Also, maybe if we hadn’t made ridiculous drafting decisions (primarily in the first couple of rounds) over the past 2 years, our minor league system would at least still be decent. And to conclude, the Marlins also dont use analytics, at all. That makes no sense…at so e point you have to move forward, right? Then again, all of the moves have really seemed way too Jeffrey Loria like, even after a great year last year.

      Also, maybe of we hadn’t rushed Alvarez back earlier in the season, this wouldn’t have happened, especially since he was already pitching with a torn UCL for the last couple of years

    Shoulder injuries are tough to come back from. The Reyes/Buerhle/Johnson firesale looks even better for the Jays now, considering this injury, Buerhle pitching well and being able to flip Jose Reyes plus prospects for Tulo. Hechevarria has become a solid SS but it was definitely a worthwhile move, despite the Jays missing the playoffs both those years.
