MLB.com reports the Tiger slugger underwent successful shoulder surgery earlier today in Miami. The surgery by Dr. John Uribe repaired a tear in his labrum. His right arm will be in a sling for about a month and then he'll begin his rehab.
"Tigers spokesperson said the team anticipates Sheffield being ready for the start of next season. Sheffield's representative, Rufus Williams, said Monday evening that at this point, Sheffield should be ready in time for the start of Spring Training in February."
