Travis Facing a 4-5 Month Recovery Period

Wednesday, Nov. 18

According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet, the surgery Travis had on his left shoulder will keep him out of action for 16 to 20 weeks. Per Aaron Gleeman of NBC Sports' Hardball Talk, he underwent a "cleanup procedure" in September but still needed surgery.       

Travis, 24, was having an excellent rookie season for the Blue Jays, hitting .304 with eight home runs and 35 RBI before his shoulder injury cost him the final two games of the season. That also halted a potential Rookie of the Year campaign, as he was one of the American League's brightest newcomers. 

It's likely he'll start next season on the disabled list, a disappointment for a player who has big expectations heading into 2016 and likely would have had a competition to win his job back from Ryan Goins, who should remain the team's starter at least early in the season.
