The Miami Marlins They will not be able to count on one of their pitchers for the remainder of this season, after the club itself announced on Tuesday that the Max Meyer right must pass through the operating room to repair an injury to the left hip and will be absent during the last months of the current championship.
Meyer will be operated on Friday in Nashville by Dr. Thomas Byrd and the recovery time plans to be between six to eight months.
“Disappointed to receive the news that Max’s season ended,” said manager Clayton McCullough in statements collected by the official portal of the team. “And now it is time to spend the page to improve, that it can be healthy for next year. Max, like all of us, is sad that he had to take this path to be able to return in a healthy way,” he added.
Initially, Miami placed Meyer on the 15 -day injured list on June 3, less than 24 hours after allowing five races (four clean) with 10 hits, five strikeouts and one ticket in five work episodes against the Rockies of Colorado.
It was a new complex opening for the right -hander, which had registered an effectiveness of 7.01 (27 clean races in 34.2 inputs) in its last seven outings. Prior to that bad streak, Meyer marked a percentage of clean races allowed 2.10 (7 CL at 30.0 IP) in its first five presentations, in which it accumulated four opening of quality runs.
Drastic change of plans
“I think we don’t think I was at the point where surgery was an option,” the mandamás continued. “It was only some irritability, pain. He reached the instance in which he was affecting him more and more, especially in his last opening, in the previous one. And I think that, with the time of rest when we put it in the list of injured, hoping that something of rest will calm him, we trust that he could return and throw this year, but the reality is that he never crossed that corner, even with the free time, even with the free time, even with the free time.
