D-Backs’ Seth Beer To Undergo Shoulder Surgery

By Anthony Franco | September 21, 2021 at 5:28pm CDT

Diamondbacks first baseman Seth Beer will undergo left shoulder surgery this week, manager Torey Lovullo informed reporters (including Steve Gilbert of MLB.com). The 25-year-old dislocated his shoulder diving for a ball in a game against the Dodgers last week.

It’s unclear if the procedure will affect Beer’s readiness for Spring Training in 2022, but Lovullo said the recovery process will take “months, not weeks” (via Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic). While the D-Backs have long since been playing out the string on this year, it’s discouraging news that one of the club’s more promising young bats might be impacted by health issues heading into next season.

Beer just recently got his first call to the majors, appearing in only four games before his injury. He’s gone 4-9 to start his major league career, including a home run off the Mariners’ Diego Castillo in his first big league at-bat. That came on the heels of a strong season with Triple-A Reno, where the lefty-hitting Beer put up a .287/.398/.511 line in 435 plate appearances.

Prospect evaluators have long questioned Beer’s defensive aptitude at first base, but there’s little debate he’s a promising offensive player. The potential introduction of a designated hitter to the National League in the upcoming offseason’s collective bargaining negotiations would figure to be a boon to his chances of playing regularly in Arizona. Barring changes to the service time structure in the next CBA, Beer will be under team control for at least the next six seasons — future optional assignments could push back that trajectory even more — and won’t reach arbitration eligibility until the 2024-25 offseason.

    Sorry to hear it. I’ve been a fan since he was drafted by the Astros and hated to see him go.

      Me too, especially after he homered on his first major league at bat the other week. I hope he recovers some time soon for next season.

    I feel bad for the guy, and hope he recovers fully and soon. I also hope he doesn’t come on MLBTR and read the lame jokes about his name, when he’s dealing with an injury.

    Ah well, all isn’t bad for the D-Backs. All that has to happen for them to get the #1 pick is have the Orioles win a few more games…..

    Oh…….

    Shame because he had just a pint of beer at the major league level.

    Shoulder surgery is much better than a DUI with that last name
