Doug Mientkiewicz to have surgery, miss at least three months

Ned Colletti said September. Joe Torre said the last month of the season, which is September. Stan Conte said at least three months, depending on how the program goes. Three months is July. The good news is that it sounds like Mkz will be able to come back at some point if he chooses to do so.
``Knowing (Mientkiewicz), he'll try to come back in four weeks,'' Torre said. ``But that isn't going to happen.''
The MRI showed a complete dislocation, and the front part of the labrum was pulled off, along with the capsule, Conte said. Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the Dodgers' team physician, will do the surgery on Monday.
