NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The New York Yankees say Alex Rodriguez will have surgery on his left hip and will miss the start of the season and possibly the entire first half. Rodriguez has a torn labrum, bone impingement and a cyst, the team said Monday. The Yankees said he will need to follow a pre-surgery program over the next four-to-six weeks and the team anticipates he will be sidelined four-to-six months. That timetable projects to a return between the start of May and mid-July. A-Rod had right hip surgery on March 9, 2009, and returned that May 8. The Yankees said this operation will be ``similar but not identical.'' |
