Bye bye Benson
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 3:44 pm
After attempting to rehab his partially torn rotator cuff, Kris Benson has decided to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
"Kris had tried everything to avoid this day," agent Gregg Clifton said. "However, despite his best efforts, the consensus among doctors and training staff is that surgery is the best alternative to allow him to perform at the level that he is accustomed to performing at." Steve Trachsel has already been signed to replace Benson in the Orioles' rotation and the team had reportedly been assuming that he'd miss the season for the past three weeks.
