Alex Rodriguez to Have Hip Surgery

TAMPA, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez will have surgery on his torn right hip labrum, opting for a so-called "hybrid" approach that could have him playing for the Yankees about two months after the limited procedure.

Rodriguez will undergo the surgery on Monday morning in Vail, Colo., having the procedure performed by hip specialist Dr. Marc Philippon. Rodriguez is expected to return to Major League game-ready shape in six to nine weeks.
