Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Curt Schilling underwent an appendectomy Saturday during the team's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, but might miss only one start.
Schilling was in pain on Friday when the team arrived for the start of a three-game series and manager Bob Brenly said the pain was more acute on Saturday. Cardinals team doctors recommended surgery.
This year he's 1-2 with a 4.28 ERA. Schilling had been scheduled to pitch Wednesday at home against the Expos.
All of the Diamondbacks starters had been set to get an extra day of rest before the surgery, and now the remaining four in the rotation will work on regular rest.
