Lidge, Ibanez, Eyre scheduled for surgery

Provided by Written on November 07, 2009

PHILADELPHIA — Phillies closer Brad Lidge will have surgery
on his right elbow on Wednesday.

Lidge is scheduled to have a loose body removed and Dr. Michael
Ciccotti also will evaluate his right flexor/pronator tendon.

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. also announced Saturday night
that outfielder Raul Ibanez and reliever Scott Eyre will have
surgery on Monday. Dr. Bill Meyers will repair Ibanez’s sports
hernia and Ciccotti will remove loose bodies from Eyre’s left
elbow.

Lidge led the majors with 11 blown saves this season but was
better in the playoffs as the Phillies reached the World Series
before losing to the Yankees in six games. Ibanez hit a
career-high 34 homers in his first season with Philadelphia.
Eyre had a 1.50 ERA in 42 games.
