Ordonez On Ice?
It may be time to kill the Magglio Ordonez rumors. This just in from fanball.com:
It’s beginning to appear that arthroscopic surgery for right fielder Magglio Ordonez (strained knee/calf) is only a matter of time. According to the Chicago Tribune, Ordonez will undergo a second MRI today and will be examined by team surgeon Dr. Charles Bush-Joseph, who would be called upon to perform the procedure. Ordonez, a free-agent at the end of this season, must decide whether to have surgery that will keep him out four to seven weeks or to play through an injury that will not worsen but could prove very painful and limiting. “He’s not getting better with rest; he’s actually getting worse with rest,” team trainer Herm Schneider told the Tribune. “His running is actually regressing versus getting better.” After weeks of calling the injury a strained calf, further evaluation has revealed that the injury is closer to the back of his knee, though the team insists it is not an anterior cruciate ligament problem.
Update: About 10 minutes after I originally posted this item I read a news flash that said Ordonez has been put on the disabled list. Interesting development.
