A.J. Ramos has torn labrum, will undergo season-ending surgery
A.J. Ramos will undergo surgery on Wednesday for a torn labrum, which will end his 2018 season. The reliever had his shoulder examined on May 27 and was placed on the disabled list with shoulder soreness on May 28. He was reportedly considering surgery on his shoulder last week, and now he is going under the knife.
The Mets were relying on Ramos to be a big part of their bullpen this season, but he struggled tremendously in 19.2 innings this year, posting an unsightly 6.81 ERA with a 5.13 FIP. He was walking even more batters per inning than he usually had at a rate of 6.86 per nine. He walked home the winning run in the tenth inning of his final appearance against the Brewers on May 25.
