SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Padres reliever Joe Thatcher has undergone exploratory arthroscopic surgery on his strained left shoulder.

The left-hander is expected to begin a throwing program in six weeks. He began the season on the disabled list. Manager Bud Black said Thatcher could pitch this season if his rehab goes well.

Also, Triple-A shortstop Everth Cabrera, who was with the Padres the last two seasons, broke the hamate bone in his right hand and will be out six weeks.
