Marco Hernandez To Undergo Shoulder Surgery

By Steve Adams | May 23, 2017 at 4:17pm CDT

Red Sox infielder Marco Hernandez will undergo surgery to repair his injured left shoulder on Friday and is likely to miss the remainder of the regular season, tweets Tim Britton of the Providence Journal. Hernandez has been on the disabled list due to a left shoulder subluxation since May 4.

The 24-year-old Hernandez hasn’t solidified himself as a regular big league contributor to this point in his career, but he’s been a useful utility option for the Sox since making his MLB debut last year. In 61 games and 116 plate appearances, Hernandez has batted .284/.328/.349, and he’s logged time at second base, shortstop and third base in the Majors.

Hernandez’s season-ending injury further thins out a depleted third base mix for the Sox. In addition to Hernandez, both Brock Holt and Pablo Sandoval are on the disabled list, leaving Deven Marrero and Josh Rutledge to split third base duties for the time being in Boston. Hernandez will now accrue a full year’s worth of Major League service in 2017, and the ability to move him to the 60-day disabled list will give Boston a bit of flexibility with the 40-man roster.

As for Boston’s third base alternatives, it doesn’t seem that the 28-year-old Holt is especially close to returning to action; Britton also tweeted that the versatile 28-year-old was removed from his rehab assignment due to the fact that he wouldn’t be ready for activation within the requisite 20-game window. He’s being shut down for another five days as he continues to deal with the aftereffects of a concussion. Sandoval, meanwhile, is on a rehab assignment in Triple-A but is out of the lineup today due to illness, per Britton.

    If the Red Sox are halfway serious about contending, they’re going to have to pull the trigger on some kind of trade, albeit probably a minor one. Devers isn’t ready and the Rutledge-Marrero connection couldn’t hit a ball further than 300 feet.

    Moustakas or Frazier?

    Unbelievable! I still have heard how he injured it. Did he fall on it, was there a collision, or did he just try to take the last drumstick away from Pablo at the post game spread?

    Devers should be moved to Pawtucket soon just to see how he does. Please do not trade him for a rental like Frazier. Maybe Chavis or Dalbec and others in trade for Moose.

      Honestly, I probably wouldn’t trade Dalbec for a rental either

      There is no way that Frazier would cost Devers maybe a lottery pick type prospect at best.
