Michael Conforto To Have Shoulder Surgery

By charliewilmoth | September 2, 2017 at 12:11pm CDT

Mets outfielder Michael Conforto will soon have surgery to repair his torn shoulder capsule, tweets MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo. The team placed Conforto on the DL last week.

It was already fairly clear that Conforto would not be back this season. (The Mets also added Nori Aoki today in a signing that probably would have happened independent of the news that Conforto needs surgery.) What’s not known, at this point, is how Conforto’s surgery might affect the timeline for his recovery. Via DiComo, the Mets will not announce a timeline for Conforto’s return until the surgery is complete.

Prior to the injury, Conforto enjoyed a breakout year in 2017, batting .279 with a .384 OBP and an outstanding .555 slugging percentage, with 27 home runs in 109 games. The 24-year-old former top prospect obviously appears set to play a significant role in the Mets’ outfield for the foreseeable future, health permitting.

    Scott Rolen and Jurickson Profar.

    Shoulder injuries can be just as bad for position players as pitchers.

      Are there (I assume there are) players that have had this exact injury and flourished at similar levels after returning?

        This is a very uncommon injury. That’s why his timetable to returning varies from 6-12 months. He could be back for spring training or he could be out all of next season. Either way, I wish the kid the best. He carried the Mets this season while everyone else faltered.

          And to think that Mets management had so little faith in him that he wasn’t in the lineup everyday from opening day on.

          Stop being in denial and take action.

          Stop funding the Wilpon’s Ponzi scheme called the Mets.

          No tickets, no merchandise and stop watching SNY.

          Make them sell the team to someone that will install professional management and staff and invest in a farm system.

    I’ve had shoulder dislocations before and 2 surgeries. Luckily it isn’t his throwing arm, but will take a long time to recover. Dislocating it once can lead to further dislocations….so he has to be careful. He’s a hometown guy to me, so I wish him the best on recovery and hope he won’t rush it.
