Needs surgery Minter will undergo surgery on his left hip, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Minter visited a specialist Wednesday to determine the best course of action regarding his hip injury that has been plaguing him for most of the season. It was decided that the 30-year-old reliever will need to undergo surgery, though the team won't know if the procedure will be season-ending until he goes under the knife.

Visits specialist Minter is slated to see a specialist this week regarding his injured left hip, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Back to IL with hip injury Atlanta placed Minter on the 15-day injured list Monday with left hip inflammation.
Impact It's the same injury that caused him to miss more than a month of action earlier this season. What Minter's timeline to return looks like this time around isn't clear, but Atlanta will now be without him until at least late August. Dylan Lee is taking Minter's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.
AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to be called up Monday Minter (hip) is expected to activated from the 15-day injured list Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Minter threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's rehab outing with Triple-A Gwinnett and he appears set to return from the left hip inflammation that has sidelined him since May 30. Daysbel Hernandez was optioned to Gwinnett following Atlanta's 4-2 loss to the Pirates on Sunday and Minter will likely replace him in the big-league bullpen ahead of the team's three-game series at home against the Giants beginning Tuesday.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Rehab transferred to Triple-A Minter (hip) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Minter made an appearance with High-A Rome on Saturday, allowing an unearned run and a hit while striking out three batters over an inning on the mound. The left-hander will now take the last step in his recovery from the left hip inflammation that has kept him out since May 30, joining the Triple-A roster. Minter will likely make multiple appearances with Gwinnett before being activated from the 15-day injured list in the near future.
JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE
Beginning rehab assignment Minter (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Saturday.
Impact Minter has been on the injured list since the end of May due to left hip inflammation, but he has now been given the green light to return to a competitive setting. It's unclear how long the 30-year-old southpaw will remain in the minors, but it shouldn't take long for him to build back up as a reliever. He currently owns a 2.95 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 21.1 innings on the year, and he will likely reprise his role as Atlanta's main setup man upon returning to the big-league bullpen.
