Christian Vazquez Undergoes Surgery for Shoulder Infection
Christian Vazquez (shoulder) has undergone surgery to remove an infection from his left shoulder, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. The issue forced Vazquez to the 10-day injured list on Aug. 6, and though the Twins haven't ruled out a return this year, Vazquez is not close to starting baseball activities, according to Leach. While the 35-year-old typically hasn't posed much of a threat with the bat, this has likely been the worst offensive season of his career. Vazquez has hit just .174/.251/.247 with two homers, 13 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 199 plate appearances.
