Miami -- Florida Marlins left fielder Chris Coghlan, injured last month in a freak accident during post-game hijinks, will undergo knee surgery, the team said Sunday.
Coghlan, last year's National League Rookie of the Year award winner, will go under the knife to repair a torn meniscus and is likely done for the season.
He was injured July 25 when he shoved a shaving cream pie in the face of teammate Wes Helms during a TV interview following the Marlins' 5-4 win over Atlanta in 11 innings.
Instead of immediately opting for surgery, Coghlan underwent a rehabilitation stint, but the effort has been deemed unsuccessful due to intense pain.
Coghlan hit .268 with five homers and 28 RBI over 91 games this season.

New York -- Florida outfielder Chris Coghlan, who hit .321 last season, was voted the National League Rookie of the Year.
Coghlan, 24, added nine home runs and 47 runs batted in to his .321 average over 128 games for the Marlins, who boast their third rookie of the year winner since 2003. Dontrelle Willis won the honor in 2003 and Hanley Ramirez took the award in 2006 for Florida.
Coghlan finished the season with a flourish, getting 47 hits in August -- the highest such monthly total for a rookie since 1954 -- and then 46 hits in September. Coghlan's batting average was the best among NL rookies, as were his totals for on-base percentage, hits and runs.
