Royals' DeJesus out for the year
Baseball Betting Lines
07/23/2010 -
Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kansas City Royals outfielder David DeJesus
is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his right thumb after further
examination showed a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament.
Earlier Friday, DeJesus was placed on the 15-day disabled list with what was
originally called a sprained right thumb. He suffered the injury and left
Thursday's game against the Yankees after crashing into the center-field wall
in the third inning while trying to track down a Derek Jeter drive that
eventually wound up as an inside-the-park home run.
DeJesus initially appeared to make a great backhanded catch. His wrist,
though, bent at nearly a 90-degree angle while hitting the wall, and the ball
came loose.
The 30-year-old will have surgery on Monday performed by Dr. Tom Graham at
the Cleveland Clinic. The minimum timetable for a return from such a procedure
is 10 weeks. DeJesus, who has been the subject of trade speculation, batted
.318 with five home runs and 37 runs driven in over 91 games this season.
To fill the roster spot, the Royals have recalled outfielder Alex Gordon from
Triple-A Omaha.
Gordon started the season in the major leagues and hit just .194 in 31 at-bats
before being sent to the minor leagues to learn how to play the outfield after
coming up and playing as a third baseman.
The former number-two overall selection in the 2005 draft was batting .310
with 14 home runs and 46 RBI in 75 combined games between Single-A Wilmington
and Omaha.
The Royals continued to re-tool their roster later in the day, adding pitcher
Sean O'Sullivan to the active roster and designating pitcher Anthony Lerew for
assignment.
O'Sullivan, 22, was acquired from the Angels on Thursday and has posted a 1-0
record and 2.08 earned run average in five games (one start) this season. He's
spent most of the year at Triple-A Salt Lake.
Lerew, 27, went 1-4 with an 8.54 ERA in six starts for Kansas City this year.
