Tigers' Prospect Sizemore Has Ankle Surgery

By Dean Pantazi

DETROIT (AP) - Scott Sizemore, the Detroit Tigers' minor league
player of the year in 2009, has undergone surgery on his fractured
left ankle.
The Tigers say a surgeon inserted screws Tuesday to stabilize
Sizemore's ankle joint, which was then immobilized. He is to have
the screws removed in January and is expected to be ready for the
start of spring training in February.
Sizemore suffered the injury Oct. 22 in an Arizona Fall League
game.
He combined to hit .308 with 17 home runs, 66 RBI and 21 stolen
bases in 130 games with Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo.
General manager Dave Dombrowski has said Sizemore likely will be
Detroit's second baseman if veteran Placido Polanco, who's eligible
for free agency, doesn't return.
