Delgado has successful surgery, out 10 weeks

Here’s the statement from the New York Mets:

This morning Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado underwent successful right hip arthroscopic surgery at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery. Mets team physician Dr. Struan Coleman performed the surgery. Delgado was diagnosed with an impingement of the hip, a bone spur, and a torn labrum. The Mets anticipate his return in approximately 10 weeks.

That puts Delgado’s return near the end of July, after the All-Star Break.

Time for a trade, me thinks.
