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.

Moreland finally can slow down, learn with Rangers

SURPRISE, Ariz. â€“ Mitch Moreland got on quite a fast track for the Texas Rangers.

In three months last season, Moreland went from the minors to his major league debut to being the Rangers’ best hitter in their first-ever World Series.

Moreland’s quick rise began after Texas acquired Cliff Lee in the middle of last season. The ace left-handed pitcher is gone, but the first baseman is still starting â€” 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.
