I likely had more work done to mine than Jonah, simply because I had a lifetime of damages and scar tissue from continuing to live with those injuries for years.  The worst was a full thickness tear in the rotator cuff, about 5 cm long.  Also had a torn labrum, suprispinitis was completely severed, biceps tendon was detached.  Also much "clean up" of bone spurs, scar tissue, etc.

If his tear was a minor one, and combined with the quicker healing of youth, he could possibly be available near the end of the season.  But, unless they absolutely need to press him into service, why chance ruining the repair or his confidence in the healing shoulder?

True. Long term investment over short term gains. My wife had her shoulder done, and like your situation, it was from a career of being a nurse and decades of lifting patients. She had several things done as well. They used 5 incisions to correct everything in her shoulder. Fortunately, she was able to find something else to do, with the same company that allowed her to not have to do heavy lifting anymore and she actually makes more money now as well. A fortunate outcome, considering she had been a nurse for 30+ years. 

I do recall that she was in a lot of pain for a while after the operation and she absolutely hated all the rehab. Off topic but i can see how people would get addicted to pain killers because she was on a constant cycle of them to deal with all the post op pain.
