NEW YORK (AP) — San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey’s season might soon be coming to an end.The six-time All-Star said Tuesday night that he’s considering surgery to fix a hip problem that’s been hobbling him all year.“I think when you’re dealing with an injury, it can be a level of frustration,” Posey said. “I’m so hesitant just because … I hate reading stuff where I feel like people are talking and there’s any sort of excuse, no matter what it is.”“But yeah http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-carlos-santana-jersey , I mean, just where we are in the standings, too, I think that makes it difficult,” he said.The 31-year-old Posey recently got a cortisone injection and missed last month’s All-Star game.“We have discussed the possibility,” Giants general manager Bobby Evans said.Posey didn’t play Tuesday night in a 6-3 loss to the New York Mets after catching all 13 innings in a win Monday.

Since the All-Star break, he is hitting .283 with no homers and nine RBIs.Posey hasn’t homered in a span of 166 at-bats since June 19, the third-longest homerless drought of his career in terms of days.“He’s been battling this all year,” Bochy said. “He’s been a warrior through this, dealing with it. But you know, sometimes it comes to a point where you have to do something about it. And that’s what we’re talking about now.”“There is a rehab with this thing if it gets done Will Middlebrooks Jersey , and it’s going to take a little while. So, we want to make sure that we get him right,” he said.The San Francisco Chronicle first reported on Posey’s situation.
