Buster Posey is considering surgery to fix a hip problem that has been hobbling him all year.

The San Francisco Giants catcher recently got a cortisone injection and missed last month's All-Star Game.

"I think when you're dealing with an injury, it can be a level of frustration," Posey said. "I'm so hesitant just because ... I hate reading stuff where I feel like people are talking and there's any sort of excuse, no matter what it is.

"But yeah, I mean, just where we are in the standings, too, I think that makes it difficult."

Posey sat out Tuesday's game after catching all 13 innings in Monday's contest.

There is no deadline for Posey to decide on the surgery, but doing so would sideline him until the 2019 season.
