Lidge may miss opener
January 14th, 2010 by Eric Schwartz
The offseason signing of Danys Baez is looking better already.
Mlb.com is reporting that Phillies closer Brad Lidge had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Wednesday, making his status for Opening Day cloudy.
His surgery consisted of “the removal of loose bodies and meniscal debridement,” accoding to the release.
With Lidge status up in the air the Phillies may have to start the season with Biaz or Ryan Madson as their closer. Each has closed in the past, though Biaz has much more experience.
