Despite playing through the injury for the majority of the season, Tampa Bay Rays right fielder Steven Souza Jr. knew that something just wasn’t right with his hip.
The lingering discomfort continued as did the pain, flare-ups became more regular and with two-weeks left in the season, now was the perfect time to take care of the problem.
After the Rays game against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, the Rays departed to Tampa with Souza heading out to Nashville, Tenn.
