Moyer remained in the hospital.
Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer remained on the mend Friday after undergoing a “minor” procedure, but should be going home Monday, his spokesman announced.
An MRI revealed that the 47-year-old had a small blood collection that could possibly be infected. Moyer underwent a minor surgery at Jefferson Hospital to wash out the blood collection, according to the Phillies.
The left-hander was expected to remain in the hospital through the weekend.
“Jamie is doing very well,” said Phillies Team Physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti. “The surgery is not likely to impact his rehab schedule and is likely to have minimal impact on his spring training schedule.”
The really is the question now for the oldest player in baseball. Will he be ready for Spring Training and after suffering so many set backs since tearing three muscles in his groin in September its worth asking what could be left in his tank.
The guy already lost his starting job late last season and if health becomes a concern he might lose his rotation spot before the Phillies even get to Clearwater.
