MILWAUKEE -- Chris Capuano's teammates gave the left-hander a hard time all summer about his habit of diving for balls. Maybe Capuano should have heeded that good-natured advice.
The Brewers announced on Monday that Capuano suffered a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder while diving for a groundball in his next-to-last appearance and will visit with Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. on Wednesday. If Andrews agrees with the diagnosis, which was made before the end of the season by Brewers head physician William Raasch, Capuano will undergo surgery on Thursday.

"No surgery is routine, but we are talking about his right shoulder," said Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash. "If it were his left shoulder, it would be a major story."
