Jon Garland will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery next Monday.
Credit goes to Tony Jackson of ESPNLosAngeles.com, who first reported Monday evening that Garland was likely out for the season. It prematurely ends a disappointing season for the free agent signee, as he began the year on the DL with an oblique injury and made just nine starts before going under the knife. He seems likely to miss most, if not all, of the first half of 2012. Garland had a vesting option for 2012, which obviously will not kick in, so he'll enter the offseason as a free agent.
