A-Rod to need 3-6 months after hip procedure
Alex Rodriguez - 3B - New York Yankees
Dec. 3, 2012 - 11:10 AM ET

Alex Rodriguez will need between three and six months to recover from his January hip surgery.

That timetable comes from Joel Sherman of the New York Post, who notes that the upcoming procedure is for a torn labrum in A-Rod's left hip. He had surgery on his right hip back in 2009. The Yankees will be on the hunt for a third baseman over the next couple weeks. We wouldn't expect Rodriguez to return before June.
