Josh Hamilton To Miss 4-6 Weeks

Posted On: Tue Jun 09, 09 12:53 AM



ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—Texas Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton(notes) will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a partial tear in an abdominal muscle and is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks.

“That’s great because we thought it would be longer,” manager Ron Washington said Monday. “It looks like we’ll have a chance to get him back after the (July) All-Star break. At least it won’t be September.”

The team had feared that the injury was a hernia similar to the one that shut down second baseman Ian Kinsler(notes) for 12 weeks last year.

An MRI exam on Monday confirmed the diagnosis of the partial tear.
