Todd Helton underwent successful surgery Friday to repair a torn labrum in his right hip.
The surgery ends his season, but he’s planning to return in 2013. Helton, who turns 39 later this month, batted just .238/.343/.400 with seven homers and a .743 OPS this season. He’s owed $5 million next season in the final year of his contract with Colorado.
