Shoulder surgery sidelines Harden for season
Right shoulder surgery is going to sideline Rich Harden for the 2012 season
as the pitcher tries to clear up a long-standing issue
Dr. James Andrews repaired a torn capsule in the free agent's shoulder last
week, MLB.com's Peter Gammons reported.
"I understand that I have to sit out this season as I rehab the shoulder,"
Harden said. "That's fine. I know what I have to do, and I am hopeful that at
this time next year I'll be healthy and ready to try to come back with
someone. To be honest, I'm relieved to have it over and move forward. It's
been a long time since I felt the way I should. It's been five years of
inconsistency."
Harden's shoulder injury dates to 2007, and his innings total has declined
progressively every season since '08, when he threw 148. He was limited to 82
2/3 last year while pitching in his second stint for the A's. It was his
third team in the past three seasons.
Harden went 4-4 with a 5.12 ERA last season and was nearly traded to the Red
Sox before the deal fell through due to the right-hander's medical records.
Harden is 59-38 with a 3.76 ERA in his career, always showing strong ability
when he is healthy enough to pitch.
"I hope and believe that if I do the work and everything Dr. Andrews tells me
to do, I can have the game be fun again," Harden said.
