First off, let's get this out of the way: There will be no fat jokes.

The Boston Red Sox announced Monday that third baseman Pablo Sandoval will have surgery on his left shoulder, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com.

The team has yet to provide a timetable for Sandoval's return. However, the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reported the prognosis may not be good:

Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy is dealing with a small fracture in his left foot and will head to the disabled list.

From the ashes of every tragedy, something good can arise.

It's still too soon to call Pablo Sandoval's Boston Red Sox career a tragedy. But it's past time to call Travis Shaw something good.

Since being thrust into the spotlight by Sandoval's embarrassing benching and subsequent injury issues, Shaw has emerged from obscurity to become a budding star for Boston.

The New York Yankees finished an abysmal first month from the batter's box by ranking last in the majors in runs scored during April for the first time since 1984, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).

With just 74 runs, the so-called Bronx Bombers finished with one fewer run than a struggling Atlanta Braves team that had a 5-18 record for the month.

The Baltimore Orioles reportedly reached an agreement Friday with veteran starting pitcher Wandy Rodriguez for a minor league deal.
