A-Rod Has Torn Labrum In Hip

[IE]

No surgery for A-Rod



Yankees GM Brian Cashman just said Alex Rodriguez has a torn hip labrum and cyst.

They?re trying rest and rehab. The cyst was drained. The hope is he?ll keep playing.

More to come.

He?s out of the WBC.

UPDATE, 4:51 p.m.: Surgery, if needed, would knock him out four months.

The cyst was large and the hope was having it drained will lessen the stiffness Rodriguez felt.

They?re going to cut down on his time in spring training in the hopes he can get through the season.

This is a similar injury to what Mike Lowell had. Cashman refused to say what degree the tear was.

UPDATE, 5:07 p.m.: Cashman just said A-Rod will need the surgery at some point. The tear won?t just heal.

They?re hoping he can get through the season then have it. So this could be an issue all year.

It could only happen to a-rod mr attention getter.
Hopefully he can get through the season and be productive if he doesn't have the surgery.
Let's see if he can play with pain day in and day out. :shrug:

i always believed that joe montana's back injury and michael jordan's retirement from basketball were not true. more like joe montana had a drug problem and michael jordan had a gambling problem, there was a cover-up. now it's a-rods turn, maybe another failed drug test 50 games:shrug:

just maybe

Lowell went thru same thing last year.
Production went slowly south.

A big blow to the Yankees surgery or not.
Stay away on fantasy draft day.
