Not that it's any surprise...I dealt for him a week ago. 
Don't believe that he's going to come back to pitch at the start of next year...bet the over on that one.
All-Star closer Glen Perkins will miss the rest of the season because of a torn labrum and rotator cuff problems that will likely require surgery, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The diagnosis comes after Perkins underwent another Magnetic Resonance Imaging exam this week and received another opinion on his ailing left shoulder. Perkins’ labrum is definitely torn, although it’s unclear how severe the tear is, the source said.
There’s a chance Perkins could be ready at or near the start of the 2017 season, but it could take a little longer.
Perkins is set to meet with General Manager Terry Ryan and team doctors Thursday afternoon at Target Field before any update is provided.
While the Twins were in Anaheim earlier this week, Perkins was in Los Angeles, visiting specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic, a facility Perkins has visited in the past. Perkins has continued to feel discomfort when he’s attempted to throw hard, and his visit to ElAttrache confirmed there is a significant problem.
