Mariners' Charlie Furbush: Will undergo rotator cuff surgery

Furbush will undergo rotator cuff surgery next Tuesday, and will target 2018 for his return.

The recovery time for this surgery typically lasts anywhere between 12-to-18 months, so Furbush will be looking to come back during spring training in 2018. The 30-year-old was trying to make a comeback for later this season, but with lingering shoulder soreness that constantly created more and more setbacks, he decided that surgery was a necessity. Furbush opened this season on the disabled list and will face a long road back to the majors after spending two years off the mound.
