Sorry to hear of the young man's injury. Shoulder labrum repair can be difficult to rehab (I've had one, but at 50 years old). His success will be partly impacted by the extent of the tear (and the number of anchors required to repair it). If they tried rehab first, then maybe the damage isn't too severe. Hopefully, he has a skilled surgeon.

What kind of hitting skills does he have? His hitting will probably come back quicker if he hits from the right side. Could he move to 1B or 2B? At least initially.

Best wishes.
