Athletics lose Sweeney for season
Baseball Betting Lines
07/19/2010 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics will be without their
leading hitter, Ryan Sweeney, for the rest of the season after he elected to
have surgery on at least one of his ailing knees.
It was announced earlier Monday that Sweeney was placed on the 15-day disabled
list with right patella tendinitis. The A's official website indicated he had
a cortisone shot for the knee last Monday and received platelet-rich
injections during the All-Star break to no avail.
Sweeney was quoted on the site as saying, "it wasn't a matter of if I needed
the surgery. It was a matter of when I was going to get it. So we just had to
make that decision."
The surgery is not yet scheduled, but is to be performed by Dr. Richard
Steadman in Vail, Colorado. The recovery time is expected to take 4-to-6
months. Sweeney will also have his left knee examined, and a second surgery is
not out of the question.
The 25-year-old batted .294 with one home run and 36 runs batted in over 82
games this season. In 364 career games with the Chicago White Sox and Oakland,
Sweeney is a .286 hitter with 13 home runs and 144 RBI.
