Phillies outfielder Adolis García had successful right latissimus dorsi repair surgery on Wednesday and is expected to return to full activity in six to eight months, the team announced.
The surgery was performed in Chicago by Dr. Anthony Romeo.
García left the Phillies-Blue Jays game on June 10 in the seventh inning after a throw to home plate. It proved to be the final play of his season, his first with the Phillies and one in which he had struggled offensively to that point.
The 33-year-old, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal in the offseason, hit just .195 with seven home runs and a .599 OPS in 67 games. But he had shown signs of a possible turnaround, having hit three homers in the week before the injury.
The offensive struggles didn't affect García's defense, however. Before the injury, he had four Outs Above Average, which was fourth-best in baseball among right fielders.
