Morrissey Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/ 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. He’s out of the WBC. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicBizkit87 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was wondering, since there wont be any Surgery, does that mean he'll be able to play opening day? Or will he still be out for 10 weeks, or was the surgery happening what would have forced him to be out 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN is full of **** again, they ran with a story that said he was going to have surgery and will be out 10 weeks. Yankees say he isn't having surgery. Lets wait until we find out from them how long he's expected to be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will he still be out for 10 weeks, or was the surgery happening what would have forced him to be out 10 weeks. I think the idea is: Try to rehab, if it works he'll be ready opening day. If it doesn't work, then we go to surgery, he'll be out 10 weeks due to the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaded Green Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Does MLB allow growth hormones or something to speed this up? Yes, but you have to have a cousin who knows somebody in the Dominican, and you have to administer it yourself in total ignorance and secrecy.

Morrissey Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Oh crap.... UPDATE, 3:51 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Keep this in mind: The labrum is the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint proper. Unlike the shoulder joint that relies on the labrum to hold the shoulder bone (humerus) in place, the Hip labrum is the part of the capsule but does not hold the leg bone(femur) to the hip joint (acetabulum).

Vicious89x Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Keep this in mind: Yea but the question is how much pain is he gonna be in, as you know hips are paramount in getting the proper rotation for power. I'm just concerned he's gonna try and be a hero, hamstring us, people lose it on him, and just worst case scenario with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surgery would be to clean the tear and other loose bodies. It is not going to fix the condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If Chase Utley can play through this, than so can A-Rod Chase's production dipped pretty well after the injury. He was prone to slumps. Not every injury is the same, nor is every person's ability to deal with them. That said, no one knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every injury is the same, nor is every person's ability to deal with them. That said, no one knows. Yeah, you're right. Though it does appear he's had this injury for a while now. I wonder if it is something he just has to play through, and can have surgery after the season, or does this type of injury get worse and worse?

Lil Bit Special Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 As of right now.. we don't need to replace him ok... who's the fill-in 2 days a week? Cody Ransom? Angel Berroa? Yanks better hope Arod can fight through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicBizkit87 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If A-Rod is going to be out for 10 weeks or so, then Cody Ransom will most likely be his replacement. I for one, am expecting A-Rod to choose against surgery right now, win us #27, and have the surgery in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 ok... who's the fill-in 2 days a week? Cody Ransom? Angel Berroa?

I hope if there is any question Cashman is working the phone lines trying to find a suitable replacement just in case. Cody Ransom and Angel Berroa shouldnt be the fall-backs for a team like the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
