Fielder (neck) could miss the rest of the season if he undergoes surgery for the herniated disk in his neck, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fielder has similar symptoms to the herniated disk that he suffered from in 2014, even though this one is not in the same exact spot. The slugger will be examined by Dr. Drew Dossett on Friday after having an MRI done Tuesday. Fielder was placed on the disabled list and will likely need to undergo another surgical procedure, which is what the Los Angeles doctor (Dr. Robert Watkins) who saw him Tuesday stated. While he is out, Jurickson Profar looks to expand on his growing role while Daniel DeShields Jr. and Hanser Alberto were called up from Triple-A Round Rock.
