Hunter Renfroe Set For Minor Foot Surgery

By George Miller | September 29, 2019 at 4:53pm CDT

Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is scheduled to undergo a minor surgery to remove a bone spur from the top of his right foot, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com.

The surgery is expected to prevent Renfroe from participating in offseason workouts for about a week, per Cassavell.

While it’s unclear just how long Renfroe has been dealing with the injury, it hasn’t required an IL stint for the 27-year-old outfielder. He has been dealing with other injuries to his elbow and ankle throughout the second half of the season, which has been a disappointment for Renfroe after he looked ready to break out with a stellar first half.

Those injuries may be partly to blame for what turned out to be a dreadful second half for Renfroe. After entering the All-Star break with a .248/.303/.618 batting line and 27 home runs, his numbers have plummeted over the season’s final months. Playing through injuries, Renfroe has slugged just .295 since the All-Star break, managing just six home runs.

Whether Renfroe would have been able to maintain his first-half output over a full season is inconclusive, though the truth likely lies somewhere in between the two extremes. He still figures to hold a position in the Padres’ plans for 2020 and beyond; the team refrained from dealing him earlier this season on account of his strong defensive track record, prodigious power, and years of team control remaining.

    I won’t be surprised if he outhomers his high priced teammate Machado next year.

      He already did this year, in 160 less plate appearances.

    He just didn’t seem right in the 2nd half. Probably why.

    Why not send him to the DL then if it was affecting his performance. Both Myers and Naylor were capable of holding down the corners the second half if needed? Looked more like he started swinging at everything again.

    easier said than done, but we should have kept Reyes instead. Renfore has always had good pop but below average to poor plate discipline, which made him chase and strike out a lot. You might be able to get away with that kind of discipline as a contact hitter, but not so much power. I’d say he needed at least average plate discipline, but I feel he didn’t meet that. Plus even when he did swing a strikes there was a lot of swing and miss in his swing. Anyways best of luck, Renfore.

    He never complained. His defense has improved. When hosmer/manny start earning their pay, we can start to talk about players like renfroe.

      I don’t understand all the machado hate. Whose protecting him in that lineup, hosmer? He will be fine once the rest of the team can figure out how to get on base.

        So then he’ll stop chasing (and not hitting) anything but a fastball? Or start running out ground balls? Why do you expect his basic character to change, now that he will have enough money for 10 lifetimes?

        Fastballs are Machado’s best pitch. Pitchers know that. They aren’t going to stop throwing him breaking pitches no matter who is “protecting him” and if they do they need to be suspended.
