| Player Notes |
| November 20, 2005 Jose Guillen hoped to avoid surgery on his ailing shoulder, but he is scheduled to undergo a procedure to repair the slight labrum tear in the joint on Monday, according to the Washington Post. He is expected to be ready for spring training. |
| November 16, 2005 Jose Guillen was bothered all of last season by a problematic left shoulder, and an MRI exam last week revealed a "slap" tear to his labrum, according to the Washington Post. Though no surgery is scheduled, it remains a strong possibility. Recovery from such surgery typically takes between four and six months, so if Guillen has to have the procedure he might not be ready for opening day. |
