Rays center fielder B.J. Upton had surgery on Tuesday to repair a labrum in his non-throwing left shoulder. It was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.   Source

Upton apparently was dealing with shoulder damage all season.  The damage/pain probably contributed to his unexpectedly low home run total this regular season.  Upton should be ready to go in time for spring training though.  Upton owners and fans are hoping a cleaned up shoulder will lead to numbers like his post-season explosion rather than his fairly disapointing regular season totals.
