The Dodgers have announced that Rafael Furcal will have back surgery. The procedure, a microdiscectomy, all but ends his season since the recovery time will have him out until at least early September, raising questions about whether he could get his swing back in time to have any impact. The Dodgers will proceed as if he will play, though their record and the play of their other shortstop options will guide his rehab as much as his own health and recovery. Fantasy players that have been hanging on to Furcal should drop him in all formats.
