Conforto will have season-ending shoulder surgery within the next few days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After getting a second opinion on the injury Tuesday, it became apparent that Conforto would need surgery on his torn posterior capsule in the left shoulder. This procedure will eliminate any chance for the outfielder to return this season, and he will begin the lengthy process of rehabbing and recovering for spring training. He could still be a bit limited by that time, as this surgery typically sidelines a player for 4-to-6 months, but he should be at full health by Opening Day, barring any setbacks. In his place, Juan Lagares will likely man center field for the club throughout the rest of the 2017 campaign.
