Jason Kendall To Be Out 8-10 Months Following Shoulder Surgery

That Kendall played through such an injury comes as no surprise, given his gamer reputation. However, he’s also batted just .221 since the All-Star break with a .528 OPS, so it seemed to be having some effect on his bat. He and the team will hope that surgery will correct what’s wrong and allow him to come back at full strength in 2011, when he’ll be in the second year of a two-year contract.
