Nate McLouth Unlikely To Return In 2015

By Jeff Todd | August 27, 2015 at 12:27pm CDT

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard any news on Nationals outfielder Nate McLouth, who has yet to return to action since suffering a labrum tear in his right shoulder last July. MLB.com’s Bill Ladson reports that McLouth has undergone a cleanup procedure to address the injury.

Per the report, the 33-year-old McLouth is not expected to return this year, which is not terribly surprising at this point given his lack of recently-reported baseball activity and prior indications of setbacks. He did attempt to return to action this spring, but only made it through two games before shutting things down.

On the bright side, the veteran left-handed hitter is expected to be ready to go for 2016, Ladson adds. That won’t necessarily mean much for the Nationals, however, who signed McLouth to a two-year, $10.75MM free agent contract prior to 2014. That deal includes a $6.5MM club option for next season, but Washington seems all but certain to buy out the option for $750K.

McLouth inked with the Nats after a solid run with the Orioles over 2012-13 over which he put up 829 plate appearances of .261/.333/.409 hitting with 42 steals and 19 home runs. He looked like a nice finishing piece to his new club’s roster, but scuffled to a .173/.280/.237 batting line over 162 trips to the plate before suffering the injury.

    As someone who had shoulder labrum surgery in February, it really isn’t pleasant recovery. It’s a long and arduous process.

      I can second that. I had mine years ago and though I returned to playing sports, it’s never really felt quite the same way.

        I can imagine how bad a shoulder injury could be.. I had flexor tendon surgery over 10 years ago and never recovered.. The constant nagging pain throughout the supposed recovery was not helpful.. I was doing physical therapy with guys that had labrum surgery and the looks on their faces everyday said it all..
