Grady Sizemore underwent a micro discectomy procedure on his lower back Thursday and will be sidelined for 8-12 weeks.
And the hits keep on coming. Sizemore injured the back last month while rehabbing from knee surgery. Thursday's procedure could keep him sidelined through the first two months of the season. The Indians surprised some by re-signing Sizemore to a one-year, $5 million contract this offseason, but the deal is already looking like a bust.
It's hard to believe he was once one of the most exciting players in the game. He's only 29 but his future is up in the air at this point.
