SNY’s Keith Hernandez needs shoulder surgery, out for the regular season

Keith Hernandez has injured himself in the game against Athletics in Oakland which means that he will be no longer available for the team in the ongoing season. The SNY analyst and the Mets Legends is all set to undergo a surgery after injuring himself in the match which has given a headache to the team officials as there is no one capable enough to replace him in the squad. Moreover, the incident has been reported that Kieth fell after he dropped his glasses and phone which proved to be fatal for him and he got injured. 

In an interview, Cohen said that Keith Hernandez isn’t doing well with his shoulder and hence he will be having a surgery to fix his shoulder and it will take a lot of time which means that he won’t be there for the further matches. He has a complete tear of a tendon which makes him unable to move his shoulder properly. Furthermore he said that the surgery is expected to happen next Thursday and hence the team officials are hoping for the best and wishing him to return soon on the field.
