Park surgery will be to repair subluxation of tendon in back of his hand, Molitor said. Different area than right wrist tendinitis before.

Byung Ho Park will undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist.

Park was diagnosed with tendinitis in his right wrist in mid-August, but according to the Twins, this surgery is actually being performed in an area on the wrist unrelated to the previous injury. He will be going under the knife to repair a subluxation of a tendon in the back of his hand. The procedure will sideline the 30-year-old for the remainder of the 2016 season. He struggled in his first taste of the majors, hitting .191/.275/.409 over 62 games with the Twins prior to being sent down to Triple-A Rochester in July.

So apparently Park was not only suffering from tendinitis but also another injury in his wrist. You have to wonder if that affected how he was batting. Hopefully he'll be ready for the start of 2017...
