Several Phillies go ‘under the knife’ to prepare for next season

  

“Operation” remember that board game?

The baseball season is long and grueling. 162 games in the regular season and perhaps many more in the post season is what an athlete subjects himself to. Today, it is reported that several Phillies are undergoing surgeries to prolong their careers and get them healthy again for next year.

    Phillies reported under doctor’s care so far:

Player	Procedure	Date of return
Brad Lidge	Loose bodies in arm	Spring Training
Scott Eyre	Loose bodies in arm	Spring Training
Raul Ibanez	Sports Hernia	Spring Training

  This list of Phillies under going procedures may grow as time goes by, though the earlier these procedures get finished, the sooner the player can be healthy again for yet another season.
