US EditionA’s Reliever Jose Leclerc Will Undergo Right Shoulder Surgery
DALLAS, JUL 26 – Leclerc was sidelined due to right shoulder instability and a lat strain that limited his throwing ability, with surgery scheduled in Dallas, Athletics officials said.
- The Athletics shut down reliever José Leclerc, who will undergo right shoulder surgery in Dallas, Schulman said.
- Earlier this year, José Leclerc landed on the injured list, and shoulder instability prevented him from throwing with effort, according to Brian Schulman.
- Leclerc, 31-year-old reliever, appeared in 10 games this season following a one-year, $10 million contract in January, after spending his first eight MLB seasons with the Texas Rangers.
- Mark Kotsay called it `This is a tough one`, saying the surgery outcome remains uncertain.
- Overall, Leclerc has tallied 41 saves with a 3.34 ERA, which highlights the experience and production the bullpen will miss, especially with his recent injury and upcoming surgery.
