OF Torii Hunter has had lingering discomfort from the groin injury he suffered in May and might need surgery to repair a mild sports hernia. Hunter was examined by Dr. Daniel Cooper, team physician for the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Stars, and might have the surgery as early as next week. Recovery time is expected to be six weeks, which would allow Hunter to be at full strength for spring training. |

Hunter may need to undergo sports hernia surgery this winter, the Orange County Register reports. Recommendation: "I'm aware that he had to be further evaluated," Angels GM Tony Reagins said, declining to comment on the likelihood of Hunter requiring surgery. "We're still gathering information." Hunter required time on the DL with a groin injury after crashing into the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium back in May. If Hunter decides to have the surgery soon, he could be back on the field in six weeks, which leaves him plenty of time to get healthy before the start of spring training in February. |
