Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Minor's 2015 season is over before it began. The 27-year-old will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery later this week, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com.
Minor has dealt with shoulder issues a number of times throughout his career. He was sidelined three separate times with shoulder woes in 2014, and experienced discomfort this spring. Minor did not pitch this spring due to the ailment.
The club has performed multiple MRIs on Minor, but have not found any structural damage in his shoulder. The procedure could be exploratory, but would still end his 2015 season.
