According to a story on azdiamondbacks.com, pitcher Brandon Webb won’t need surgery on his ailing right shoulder and could return to action in September.
The story by beat writer Steve Gilbert says Webb had his shoulder checked out by three different doctors, and all agreed surgery isn’t necessary. Instead, Webb will begin a rehab program to strengthen the shoulder.
That’s the first bit of good news the Diamondbacks have had in awhile. Had Webb undergone shoulder surgery, he would have been out until at least March, and there was some question whether the team would pick up his $8.5 million option.
Now, if all goes well, Webb should be fully healthy for spring training and the Diamondbacks will happily give him his $8.5 million.
