Baseball Betting Lines
12/27/2006 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim outfielder Juan Rivera underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a broken left leg.
Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Michael Abrahams inserted a rod into Rivera's left tibia and screws at the top and bottom of the fracture. Rivera will remain hospitalized in Florida for a few days and x-rays will be taken every two weeks to determine his progress.
Rivera, 28, was playing winter ball for the Oriente Caribbeans against the Aragua Tigers in Maracay, Venezuela when he sustained a broken left tibia on December 22.
The following day, Rivera's leg was placed in a cast after being examined by a trauma specialist.
The Angels said Rivera will likely begin rehabilitation in six to eight weeks.
Rivera posted career bests during the 2006 season with a .310 batting average, 23 home runs and 85 runs batted in.
