Miguel Andujar will undergo season-ending surgery due to a core muscle injury, having been placed on the 10-day injured list. Manager Mark Kotsay noted Andujar's significant contributions and character, as he played through discomfort for weeks. The 25-year-old left fielder, who had a productive season with a .285 batting average, four home runs, and 30 RBIs, ranks third among major league outfielders with 10 assists. This is Andujar's second stint on the injured list this season, having previously missed time after right knee surgery.
