Josh Hamilton had surgery this morning to repair a tear in his abdominal wall. He is expected to be out for about 5 weeks, which means he will probably return right after the All-Star break. Fortunately, the Rangers have been playing well without him in the lineup. Brandon Boggs was called up to help out in the outfield while Hamilton is on the DL.
Right-handed starting pitcher, Brandon McCarthy, is going to be placed on the DL as well with a stress fracture in his shoulder blade. He has been a solid starter for the Rangers this season and is on pace to have his best season. It is not certain how long McCarthy will be out, but it is expected to be at least 5 weeks.
