HBT: Sizemore has back surgery, out 8-12 weeks

When the Indians told reporters that they?d have an update on Grady Sizemore?s health status today Jordan Bastian of MLB.com immediately tweeted that it ?sounds ominous? and ? well, he was right.

Sizemore, who was already expected to miss Opening Day because of a back injury suffered three weeks ago, underwent micro discectomy surgery on his lower back and now will miss at least 8-12 weeks.

Given his lengthy injury history it?s tough to imagine Sizemore making a speedy recovery and returning 12 weeks from today would mean early June. Not exactly what the Indians had in mind when they declined his $8 million option and then re-signed Sizemore for $5 million, although they?re reasonably well-equipped to handle his absence (and certainly used to it by now) with Michael Brantley shifting from left field to center field.

And between Grady?s back surgery and Scott?s torn ACL this has been a very tough week for Sizemores.
