Oakland Athletics’ young left-handed pitcher A.J. Puk is set to undergo shoulder surgery.
It’s been a rough year for young Oakland Athletics‘ pitcher A.J. Puk. The 25-year-old prospective starter has been dealing with a shoulder injury that first popped up back in the spring.
And although he’s made significant progress towards a return multiple times now, it appears as though he’ll be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Manager Bob Melvin announced on Friday that Puk is set to undergo surgery on his left shoulder leaving him out indefinitely.
