Jeff Francoeur, who tore a ligament in his left thumb this season, had surgery to repair the ligament this morning, according to Adam Rubin.
Francoeur, who I believe the Mets will re-sign, even if I don’t want them to, injured the thumb making a diving catch against Philadelphia. Rubin notes that was mere moments before hitting into an unassisted triple play to end the game.
You may remember that Alex Cora had the same injury and subsequent surgeries on both his thumbs.
