July 22, 200917 yr WASHINGTON — Washington Nationals left-hander Scott Olsen will have surgery Thursday to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season. The Nationals put Olsen on the disabled list Sunday. The decision to do the surgery was made after he was examined by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., Monday. Olsen made 11 starts for the Nationals, going 2-4 with a 6.03 ERA in 62.2 innings. The surgery will be performed by team medical director Dr. Wiemi Douoguih at Washington Hospital Center. Olsen had also been on the DL from May 10 to June 28 with tendinitis in his left shoulder. Washington interim manager Jim Riggleman said the Nationals will have a hard time replacing Olsen's innings in the rotation. link
