Second baseman underwent surgery after dislocating his left shoulder with two weeks remaining in the regular season. Meanwhile, the team announced last week that third baseman Brett Harris underwent surgery to repair the UCL in his left thumb (link via Jason Burke of Sports Illustrated). The injuries cloud what were already the two weakest positions in the lineup heading into the winter.

We're really coming into the final stretch of the regular season! It's certainly nice to already have the series win secured, thanks to the offense waking up and our pitchers shutting down the talented and surprisingly powerful A's hitters. Now we can go for a good ol' sweep, all the more desired given that we're tied with the Yankees for first place in the Wild Card and the Mariners are on a win streak.
