Phillies Lidge sidelined 3-6 weeks with surgery
Philadelphia Phillies closer Brad Lidge will most likely miss the season opener due to arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Lidge had the knee operated on in October to remove torn cartilage. Lidge injured the knee last year by catching a cleat from his spikes in the ground.
Fantasy Spin: The Phillies will go with RP Tom Gordon to close out ball games early in the season if Lidge isn’t good to go. Make sure you don’t get handcuffed should Lidge miss more time.
