BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : Bonilla Will Have Surgery on Shoulder
Bobby Bonilla will play out the New York Mets’ trip through their game at Chicago on Sept. 15, then undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder and miss the remainder of the season.
Bonilla, who signed a five-year, $30-million contract with the Mets as a free agent before this year, said he has been bothered by the injury all year. He told reporters the injury was caused by his frequent position changes from third base to right field and back again while he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
