Wells Will Go Under The Knife

[love_that_reefer]

Vernon Wells will have season-ending surgery Tuesday for a cyst and torn labrum in his left shoulder.
So, the decision is made right after a series with the Red Sox and right before a series versus the Yankees? According to the Jays, the surgery, which was originally expected to take place after the season, is being moved up to to accommodate Dr. James Andrews' schedule. He could still play this weekend anyway, but he apparently won't. The Jays will likely go with Reed Johnson in center and Adam Lind in left the rest of the way.

Another classic tale of a superstar going down after the big payday. I hope he makes a full recovery because the Jays have gone through too many injuries this year. Ryan, Glaus, Overbay and now Wells.

This is a big blow for the Jays, hopefully he can come back and be productive again. This will definetly help the Yankees though this week and he couldn't have gotten hurt at a better time.
