Shoulder Surgery to End Season for Expos’ Fullmer
- Share via
Brad Fullmer, a former baseball standout at Montclair Prep and now one of the Montreal Expos’ top prospects, will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery next week, Expo director of minor league operations Kent Qualls said.
Qualls said the surgery will be performed by orthopedist Frank Jobe in Inglewood.
Fullmer, a second-round pick of the Expos in the amateur draft last June, has not played a professional game. The infielder signed after the 1993 minor league season, playing only in instructional league. His right shoulder had been bothering him since last summer.
