Dickerson will undergo back surgery next week and will need 3-4 months to recover, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson spent all season rehabbing his back, and after a second setback in recovery, he has opted to undergo surgery. Even if Dickerson recovers before the end of the season, his lack of at-bats all season long means we almost certainly won't see him in the majors in 2017.
