| Player Notes |
| May 28, 2008 Rookie utility player Tony Abreu underwent successful hip surgery today in Vail, Colorado, a procedure doctors hope will resolve the eight months of injury difficulties he has endured, according to MLB.com. |
| May 13, 2008 Tony Abreu has been transferred to the 60-day DL, according to the AP. The team also placed Rafael Furcal on the 15-day DL due to stiffness in his lower back, and purchased the contract of Luis Maza from Triple-A Las Vegas, to fill Furcal's spot on the roster. |
| May 7, 2008 The LA Times reports that utility infielder Tony Abreu has been shut down for three to seven days, as he experienced tightness in his groin after playing in an extended spring training game Monday. |
| May 2, 2008 Tony Abreu is expected to return to extended spring training and begin a rehab assignment soon, according to the Press-Enterprise. He is coming back from hernia surgery. |
| March 28, 2008 Dodgers manager Joe Torre announced Thursday that Tony Abreu will begin the season on the disabled list, according to the LA Times. "I feel bad," Abreu said. "This was an opportunity for me. I would've liked to have started the season playing." An MRI taken Wednesday confirmed that he has a strained groin, which he sustained Monday and will sidelined him for 2-3 weeks. Fortunately, it's believed this injury is not related to his offseason hernia surgery. With Nomar Garciaparra and Andy LaRoche ailing, too, Blake DeWitt could be the Dodgers' starting third baseman on opening day. |
| March 16, 2008 Tony Abreu, a promising young talent without a defined role (thus far), saw his first game action since March 7th today, playing five innings of the Dodgers' 7-6 loss to the Marlins, according to MLB.com. In addition to ripping a second-inning single off center fielder Cameron Maybin's glove and working his way around to third to score on Derek Lowe's sacrifice fly, Abreu ran hard on a third-inning grounder, with shortstop Henley Ramirez's throw barely beating him. Abreu, 23, worked in several positions around the infield as a rookie last season, seeing considerable action as third, short and second. The hope is to earn similar responsibilities (if not more) in 2008. |
| March 12, 2008 Tony Abreu flew to Philadelphia Wednesday to visit Dr. William Meyers, the sports hernia specialist who performed surgery on him last October, according to MLB.com. Abreu has had lingering effects from the hernia surgery, as well as soreness in his right buttocks. We'll update you on Abreu's visit to the doctor when more becomes known. With Jeff Kent also battling an injury, the Dodgers can't afford to be missing Abreu, as well. |
| March 7, 2008 Tony Abreu is slated to make his spring exhibition debut Friday or Saturday, according to the LA Times. He has yet to play this spring, because he's been slowed by pain in his surgically repaired abdomen. Abreu is slated to back up Jeff Kent, who is dealing with a strained hamstring, so it's good timing if Abreu can get on the field and prove to be healthy. |
| February 26, 2008 Tony Abreu has been experiencing pain in his surgically-repaired abdominal area and will scale back his activities. Manager Joe Torre insists the setback is not serious, according to the LA Times. Abreu will likely serve as a utility infielder in LA this year, and he could receive regular at-bats if the aging Jeff Kent should be felled by an injury. |
