Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy will undergo season-ending surgery on his right hip later this week, but the team expects him to be ready for spring training.
The decision to have surgery came after an MRI on Monday revealed that Murphy has a labral tear in the hip.
He's expected to be sidelined for about four months once Thursday's procedure by Dr. Thomas Byrd is completed.
"It's been bothering him the last three years," Atlanta president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos told reporters.
