SAN DIEGO -- Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder and is expected to be ready by the start of spring training.
The surgery was performed Saturday by Dr. Heinz Hoenecke and Dr. Jan Fronek at Scripps Green Hospital. The team didn't make an announcement until Monday.
"We are pleased with the results and expect Kevin to be at full speed when spring training begins in February," general manager Kevin Towers said in a statement.
Kouzmanoff batted .260 with 23 home runs and 84 RBI this season, when San Diego lost 99 games and finished last in the NL West.
