Left-handed reliever Sean Marshall will have season ending surgery to his season that had no beginning.
Marshall came to the Reds in a trade for left-handed starter Travis Wood, outfielder Dave Sappelt and infielder Ronald Torreyes. He had one year left on his contract but the Reds wanted to tie up the curve ball master for the next three years. They worked out a three-year, $16.5 million extension that paid the 32-year old $4.5 million in 2013. Marshall pitched in 16 games in relief. He was 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA.
Marshall was placed on the disabled list from April 16 through April 25. He was placed on the DL again on May 24 through September 15. He had a sprained left shoulder.
In 2014, Marshall was paid $5.5 million and pitched in 15 games with a 7.71 ERA. He was placed on the disabled list to start the season with irritation in his left shoulder. A torn labrum ended his season on June 14.
This season Marshall is owed $6.5 million. He never was well enough to throw in a game in the Cactus League. Wednesday Marshall will have surgery to repair the torn anterior capsule on his left shoulder, performed by Mets' medical director Dr. David Altchek.
"I feel bad for Sean," Bryan Price said. "We will miss him not only from a performance standpoint but for his leadership in the bullpen. He did everything he was supposed to do in rehab. It is like Homer, who did all he could in the rehab of the operation on his forearm, then an injury happened in some other place."
The Reds paid roughly $500,000 for his 31 appearances during the contract extension.
