[新聞] Royals' Gordon out at least 10-12 weeks
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—Third baseman Alex Gordon is expected to be out of
Kansas City's lineup for at least two months after having surgery to repair a
torn labrum in his right hip.
The surgery was performed Friday in Colorado and Royals manager Trey Hillman
said the recovery time is 10 to 12 weeks.
“We want him to be safe, something we can take care of at the young age of
25,”Hillman said.“Hopefully, he'll never have this recur again.”
Gordon, the No. 2 overall pick in 2005, had only two hits in 21 at-bats the
first seven games this season before opting to have the surgery. He hit .253
with 31 home runs and 119 RBIs in 285 games the past two seasons.
“The original diagnosis was‘play as tolerated’with no further chance of
damage,”Hillman said.“I don't think anybody would second-guess the pain
toleration of an Alex Gordon. We all know he's extremely tough. But we wanted
to see definitively what threshold he could take it to. But after a few days of
playing, there was a lot of discomfort.”
Mark Teahen took over as the starting third baseman Friday night in the opener
of the Royals’weekend series at Texas.
Teahen started his fourth game in right field Wednesday, and this season became
the first Royals player since Bill Pecota in 1991 to appear at four different
positions in the first six games.
Hillman said Teahen, whom the Royals considered trading during the offseason,
will be the third baseman for the“majority of the time”while Gordon is out.
“I was always thrilled we hung onto Mark Teahen,”Hillman said.“Now that this
has happened, it plays out with more magnitude.”
The Royals recalled outfielder Mitch Maier from Triple-A Omaha to fill Gordon's
spot on the roster. Willie Bloomquist started in right field against the
Rangers.
