Rangers’ Moreland has surgery on right wrist |
ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland is recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist. Moreland underwent surgery in Cleveland on Wednesday, when a small pea-shaped bone was removed from the base of his wrist. The Rangers say the estimated recovery time is expected to be eight to 12 weeks. He will be in a soft splint and begin rehabilitation in the next few days. Moreland was bothered by soreness in the wrist over the second half of the season for the two-time defending AL champions. He hit .259 with 16 home runs and 51 RBI in 134 games. As a rookie in 2010, Moreland hit .462 (6 of 13) with a home run in the World Series. What are your opinions. Posted in rangers-news | Comments Off

Moreland finally can slow down, learn with Rangers |

The ace left-handed pitcher is gone, but the first baseman is still starting — and finally getting a chance to really adjust to the majors this spring. Texas manager Ron Washington says the Rangers now have “an opportunity to improve” Moreland and that he’s improving. The Rangers sent first baseman Justin Smoak, another top prospect who was already in the majors, to Seattle to get Lee. Running low on time today, i’ll be back tomorrow hopefully with some more news.
