Nicky Delmonico Undergoes Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery

By Steve Adams | June 4, 2019 at 7:03pm CDT

White Sox outfielder Nicky Delmonico will miss the remainder of the 2019 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times tweets.

Delmonico, 26, looked to be a terrific bargain find for the White Sox in 2017. The former Orioles and Brewers prospect made his big league debut with the South Siders that season and impressed with a .262/.373/.482 batting line, nine homers and four doubles in a 43-game audition down the stretch (166 plate appearances). That strong showing put him on the team’s Opening Day roster in 2018, but Delmonico’s bat has eroded over the past year-plus.

In 386 trips to the plate since that rookie campaign, Delmonico has mustered a timid .213/.290/.357 slash. And while he walked at a 14 percent clip with just an 18.7 percent strikeout rate as a rookie, those rates have gone in the wrong direction since that time (8.0 percent walk rate; 27.2 percent strikeout rate). Delmonico hit well in 17 Triple-A contests this year, but he’ll now sit out the remainder of the year. He’s on the 40-man roster but on the minor league injured list; if the Sox need Delmonico’s roster spot, they could bring him up to the big leagues and place him on the Major League 60-day injured list or release him and attempt to re-sign him to a minor league pact.

    Might as well just release him.

      Sox take care of their guys.
      Ask Danny Farquhar. Sox stuck with him for months after his aneurysm.

    Delmonico will be in a very competitive situation next year. He will have to earn his spot on the roster. The Sox outfield is young and improving and injuries are always a factor.

      There wasn’t a spot now. He only reached the majors because of injuries and Palka‘ drought start, and was terrible when he arrived.

      I doubt they even tender him.
