Matt Diaz has opted to undergo surgery on his right thumb Wednesday, which is expected to end his season. Diaz made the decision Monday after he failed to make progress with rest and antibiotics. He's expected to need around two months until he can even swing the bat at full speed, so he's all but finished for 2012. The 34-year-old is due to hit free agency this offseason.
