PHILADELPHIA — Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer will have
season-ending surgery after tearing muscles in his groin and lower abdomen.
The 46-year-old left-hander was 12-10 with a 4.94 ERA in
30 games, including 25 starts. He lost his spot in the starting rotation to
Pedro Martinez in August and probably wasn't going to be on the team's
postseason roster.
Moyer was injured on his final pitch in the seventh
inning of the Phillies' 7-4 win over Houston on Tuesday night. He tore two
tendons in his left groin and one in his lower abdominal region. He's expected
to be ready for spring training.
