Update on the Status of DH Hafner
From: The Indians
Indians DH TRAVIS HAFNER recently underwent a 12-week re-check in Birmingham, Alabama with Dr James Andrews. Andrews performed an arthroscopic debridement (clean out) of Hafner’s right shoulder joint in Birmingham on October 14th.
Travis continues to progress well from the procedure and has been cleared by Dr. Andrews to initiate pre-hitting activities at Progressive Field this week. These activities will culminate with a return to hitting program in mid-January.
Matt has covered Major League Baseball and the "other two" Pro teams in Cleveland since 1994. He has been on the beat of the Indians in full-time mode since 1996, working for various raido and print networks around the country.
