Keith Meister, MD, performed shoulder surgery on Andrew Saalfrank, a pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to a Feb. 9 report from Arizona Republic.
The left shoulder procedure will cause Mr. Saalfrank to miss the entirety of the upcoming 2026 MLB season, the team’s general manager said.
Mr. Saalfrank missed the 2021 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery.
Dr. Meister is the director of sports medicine at the Texas Metroplex Institute for Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Surgery in Arlington and is the head team physician for the Texas Rangers, another MLB team.
