A-Rod undergoing hip surgery
Just when you thought the New York Yankees and the Dominican Republic team would be happy, it looks like they are going to have to handle things without their key player, Alex Rodriguez. The third baseman, alongside his agent Scott Boras, confirmed he has a torn labrum in his right hip, in addition to a cyst.
It was said by Rodriguez’s brother, Joe Dunand, the surgery would keep him of the field for ten weeks. But apparently Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said if the surgery is done, it could take four months to recover. There is still a chance that he might be able to play. If so, he would have the operation in the off-season.
In regards to the cyst, it was recently discovered in a MRI exam a few days ago. Cashman said that he hopes the cyst was caused by stiffness that bothered Rodriguez this past season, which caused him to see a specialist.
The baseball injury becomes another delay in Rodriguez’s career, starting off with last months news of admitting using banned substances when he was playing for Texas between 2001 and 2003. This affected the Yankees, who couldn’t get to the playoffs last MLB season after appearing in it 13 times in a row.
There have numerous times where Rodriguez had to be sidelined due to injury. Back in 1999, while playing with the Seattle Mariners, he tore the medial meniscus in his left knee during a spring training agility drill on March 30. He played in the first two games of that season with Seattle, then was put on the disabled list April 7 and missed 32 games until he returned May 14.
Last year, he was also thrown back in the bull pen because of a strained right quadriceps. This was the fifth time he had to be sidelined.
