54 Jaime Garcia, SP

Cardinals starting pitcher Jaime Garcia underwent season-ending shoulder surgery Friday to repair the torn labrum and rotator cuff in his left shoulder.

"Overall, it went very well," general manager John Mozeliak told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Garcia will rehabilitate and recover over the offseason, and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp next season. Garcia was found to have these injuries last season, but opted to avoid surgery in favor of rehabilitation and strengthening, but the issue came back last weekend.

He finished the season with a 3.58 ERA in 55 1/3 innings. He went 2-5 in nine starts. 

Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia will undergo surgery on his left shoulder, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman reports.

Garcia first suffered the shoulder problem May 17 against Milwaukee. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season. Tyler Lyons will take his spot in the rotation for now, but expect that to be in flux with Jake Westbrook's return on the horizon.

The Cardinals are not confident that Jaime Garcia's recurring shoulder pain can be fixed with rehab this time around, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Garcia avoided surgery in the offseason for a similar issue.

Garcia was placed on the disabled list Saturday, with the same injury that sidelined him twice last season. Garcia will see a specialist in the next few days to determine the course of action, but he did say that the injury seems more serious this time than it did last season. He also admitted to trying to pitch through it in his last three outings.

"There's pain. There's a lot more pain than last year," he said. "It started three starts ago. I was feeling great up to that point. Just tried to take care of it, doing little things here or there, and it went downhill. It got worse and worse. I'm very concerned. I'm very concerned."

Garcia is set to see Dr. James Andrews next week. 

Cardinals starting pitcher Jaime Garcia will go on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Saturday. The team will call up Mitchell Boggs to take his place on the active roster.

Garcia dealt with shoulder injuries last season, hitting the disabled list twice, though he did avoid surgery. It is not known how long he is expected to be sidelined. 

It is not clear when Garcia suffered the injury, but he has allowed 11 runs in his last two starts, stretching over 11 1/3 innings. 

Cardinals starting pitcher Jaime Garcia had a hard time keeping the ball in the park but managed to escape with his fifth win of the season Friday night against the Brewers.

Garcia (5-2) surrendered a pair of three-run home runs to Aramis Ramirez for his only damage of the night. He was charged with six runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings of work. He struck out five and walked one in a 7-6 win.

Garcia has served up four home runs in his last two starts. He has allowed 11 runs over 11 1/3 innings during that span. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at San Diego.
