Athletics.MLB.com's Mychael Urban reports Oakland Athletics OF Ryan Sweeney (finger) underwent surgery to repair a tendon in his left pinkie finger. "The ligament was torn away from the bone; they reattached it successfully," assistant GM David Forst said in an e-mail. "He's in a cast for two weeks, and will then begin rehab."
Sweeney played in pain for the majority of the season, battling a variety of injuries that limited him to 115 games. He spent two stints on the disabled list, once for a sprained thumb and once for a toe contusion. Returning in time for Spring Training appears likely, at which point Sweeney will get a chance to secure an everyday outfield job. The 23-year-old led the team's regulars with a .286 batting average and posted a .350 on-base percentage, nothing worth writing home about.
Ryan Sweeney will undergo surgery Monday morning to reattach his left pinkie tendon to the bone, according to the SF Chronicle.He went 4-for-21 (.190) over the final six games, but ended the season with a favorable .286 average.
