Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adolis García has undergone successful right latissimus dorsi repair surgery and is expected to resume full baseball activities within six to eight months.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Anthony Romeo in Chicago after García suffered the season-ending injury during a June 10 game against the Toronto Blue Jays while making a throw to home plate.
The injury ended a difficult first season in Philadelphia for the 33-year-old, who signed a one-year, $10 million contract during the offseason.
García appeared in 67 games and batted .195 with seven home runs and a .599 OPS, though he had begun showing signs of improvement with three homers in the week leading up to the injury.
Despite his offensive struggles, García remained a strong defensive presence in right field, recording four Outs Above Average before the injury, ranking among the best players at his position in Major League Baseball.
