OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -Oakland Athletics third baseman Eric Chavez had surgery Wednesday to repair damage in his right shoulder and will be out for at least six months.
The 2 1/2-hour surgery was performed by Dr. John Frazier and Dr. Thomas Peatman at the San Rampon Surgery Center.
“It went extremely well,” A’s head trainer Steve Sayles said. “The doctors feel he will do well following surgery.”
Chavez has been limited to 113 games the past two years due to various injuries. The six-time Gold Glove winner will not throw a ball for about 5 months.
“He’s a huge part of our team,” Oakland manager Bob Geren said. “You see how much our offense has missed him.”
