MLB: Brewers' Hart to undergo appendectomy
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Corey Hart was scheduled to undergo an appendectomy tonight.
The Brewers said Hart will go on the 15-day disabled list and be replaced by Bill Hall, who will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville.
Hart, who missed Milwaukee's 6-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday, complained of stomach and side pains Saturday night after he went hitless in three at-bats with a walk during the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Padres. When Hart came to Petco Park on Sunday, the pain persisted and he was examined by a doctor.
Hart is batting .264 with 11 homers and 40 RBIs in 98 games this season.
