Several weeks after undergoing surgery on his injured left pinky finger, Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin has had a second procedure to correct a separate issue.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox announced Thursday that Durbin has undergone successful surgery on his right foot, specifically a partial excision of the fifth metatarsal base with tendon repair. The procedure was performed by Dr. Anish R. Kadakia at Northwestern Medical in Chicago.<\/p>\n
The fifth metatarsal is the long bone connecting the pinky toe to the rest of the foot.<\/p>\n
Durbin recently wrapped up his first season with the Red Sox, coming to Boston along with Anthony Seigler and Andruw Monasterio in a spring trade with the Milwaukee Brewers. The third baseman got off to a terrible start at the plate before turning his season around and helping power the club\u2019s dramatic second-half turnaround.<\/p>\n
Durbin finished the season batting .248 with 13 home runs, 64 RBI, 20 stolen bases, a .710 OPS and 4.3 Wins Above Replacement, and he is also a finalist to win his first career Gold Glove at third base. He did that despite playing a significant portion of the season injured, battling through his dislocated pinky since at least the end of June.<\/p>\n
The foot injury was not previously disclosed, so it\u2019s unclear when it originally happened and how long Durbin may have been playing through it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several weeks after undergoing surgery on his injured left pinky finger, Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2395],"tags":[5,48,3615,101766,1816,778,58,4171,4,89,7826],"class_list":["post-841075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami-marlins","tag-baseball","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-caleb-durbin","tag-fifth-metatarsal","tag-marlins","tag-miami","tag-miami-marlins","tag-miamimarlins","tag-mlb","tag-red-sox","tag-surgery"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117527111478552812","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
