Mark Ellis is awaiting a second opinon from Dr. Lewis Yocum about shoulder surgery and may have an old injury repaired along with a more recent one should he undergo any operation, according to the SF Chronicle. Before the 2004 campaign, Ellis tore the labrum in his right shoulder in a brutal collision with Bobby Crosby, but nerve damage in the shoulder was too severe for surgery to be performed. Ellis rehabbed the shoulder, but the labrum is still torn.Tests show that the nerves in Ellis' shoulder are fine now, so he is OK for surgery, and the labrum is likely to be repaired at the same time that chips are removed from the shoulder and damaged cartilage is taken out. Ellis would be expected to be ready to participate in spring training next season.
