Santander reveals shoulder pain led to surgery

Blue Jays' Anthony Santander revealed his shoulder pain returned in January when he resumed hitting, leading to surgery for a torn labrum that will sideline him for 5-6 months.

Blue Jays slugger Anthony Santander has revealed more details about his season-ending shoulder surgery. The 31-year-old said his shoulder pain returned in January when he resumed hitting, despite rest attempts, before an MRI confirmed the torn labrum.

Santander missed most of last season rehabbing the same shoulder and is now entering the second year of his five-year, $92.5-million contract with Toronto.
