Hector Gomez suffered a serious groin injury recently during Dominican Winter League play and could miss much of the 2013 season. | ||||||
"He will probably have surgery in the next couple of days," said Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash. "He has had a history of groin injuries and it flared up again. We just don't know the extent of it. Is it a fourth-month (absence) or eight months?" Gomez, 24, was claimed off waivers from the Rockies in June and had been slated to start the season at Double-A. | ||||||
