Moyer has surgery
options
 

Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer had surgery today after an MRI exam showed a small blood collection that could have been infected, the team said tonight.

Moyer was admitted to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia Tuesday after experiencing lingering pain related to October 2 surgery to repair three muscle tears in his groin and lower abdomen.
 
He was previously hospitalized from Oct. 6-10 with a blood infection caused by the surgery.
 
In a statement, the Phils called yesterday’s procedure, performed by Dr. Bill Meyers, “minor.”
 
“Jamie is doing very well,” said Phillies Team Physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti in the statement.  “The surgery is not likely to impact his rehab schedule and is likely to have minimal impact on his spring training schedule.”

 

Moyer is likely to remain hospitalized until Monday.

    I appreciate Jamie Moyer's effort in the World Series 2008. He laid flat out to make a play in the field. "A" for effort. Hope he gets better and enjoys a successful spring training.

    Jamie, speedy recovery sir. You're going to be needed in the Spring. Continue to tell the youngsters how to pitch and behave in the baseball world.

About Matt Gelb and Bob Brookover












Bob Brookover and Matt Gelb team up for their third straight season covering the Phillies for the Inquirer and philly.com.

This is Brookover’s second stint writing about the Phillies, having joined the coverage team after seven years as an Eagles beat writer. Brookover was hired by The Inquirer in 2000 as the Phillies beat writer after spending 13 years writing about the team for two suburban newspapers. While on the Eagles beat, Brookover, who had covered just two winning Phillies teams in 15 seasons, saw the Phillies move into a cash-cow new ballpark and begin playing a brand of the game he found unrecognizable. Follow him on Twitter here.

Gelb is in his third season covering the Phillies. He was hired by The Inquirer in August 2009 after graduating from Syracuse University. He has also covered baseball at The Star-Ledger and Cape Cod Times. Born and raised in Bucks County, he attended Central Bucks High School West. Follow him on Twitter here.
