Mo to undergo surgery Thursday

Mariano Rivera

Mariano Rivera

Don’t worry. This ain’t Tommy John surgery or anything serious like that, thank goodness. Yankees closer Mariano Rivera will undergo surgery on his sore right shoulder which has been bothering him since the last few days of the regular season. Dr. David Altchek, who performed surgery on Jorge Posada earlier this year, will get to do the honors again. This procedure is considered minor and don’t worry, Rivera will be ready for Spring Training.

  1. Mariano hopefully will convert 30-35 saves next year. His age will hopefully be a minor factor in his performance next season, and I still think his K’s numbers will stay the same. Love that sweet cutter!

  2. Ya. I doubt he’ll get 30 saves though. 27 is the most reasonable, I think.
