ESPN -- All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will have surgery on his left hip Friday in Vail, Colorado, and miss the rest of the season, the Colorado Rockies said Wednesday.
Tulowitzk has a torn labrum in his hip, the team said after a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres.
He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 22, three days after he was hurt running out a grounder at Pittsburgh.
In addition to the hip injury, he had taken days off to rest his chronically tight legs. The leg issues date to 2008 when he tore the left quadriceps tendon.
Tulowitzki leads the NL with a .340 average, but he will not have enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title.
