"There's a real possibility that Matt could be behind at the start of Spring Training. Potentially, he could miss some time at the start of the regular season, but it shouldn't be a great deal of time, if he misses any at all," head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said. LaPorta's hip surgery was a smoothing of a "bony impingement" in the hip joint. His toe surgery was the more serious of the two operations, and is being likened to "turf toe." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Laporta/583365 583365 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:48:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Laporta/583365 LaPorta had arthroscopic hip surgery in Vail, Colorado on Wednesday and will be out four to six months, LaPorta had arthroscopic hip surgery in Vail, Colorado on Wednesday and will be out four to six months, the Indians' official site reports.

Our View: LaPorta had a "debridement of a bony impingement in (left) hip," while getting a "loose" left big toe "stabilized." The expected recovery time is 4-to-6 months, meaning he almost certainly will not be ready for spring training. His make or break 2010 season is not starting well. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Laporta/583100 583100 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:20:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Matt_Laporta/583100 Matt LaPorta underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left hip and left big toe on Tuesday.
