Every other team that isn't Ottawa will let you know if a player had a surgery the day of or day after at the latest. Nobody is asking what days he is seeing a doctor or for his xrays or anything invasive. Its clear he had a shoulder injury and the time he is going to miss will depend on the treatment he receives. Fans devote time and money into teams its courtesy to let us know how long players should be out, yes a courtesy and since we aren't really respected by this team its evident they don't really care about supplying that courtesy.
Other reasons fans might want to know is they generally care about the player, or they are participating in fantasy sports / gambling that is sponsered with the league or soon to be.
tldr, No one is asking if Pinto has an embarrassing STD, just if he got a surgery which was up in the air.
