White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu revealed that the “lower abdomen/groin area” injury that sent him to the disabled list last month was testicular torsion, and he needed emergency surgery to save one of his testicles.
“It was one of my testicles turned sideways and was strangled. The doctor had to perform emergency surgery to save it,” Abreu said through an interpreter before Tuesday’s night game against the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field.

He added that doctors cleared him to resume physical activity Tuesday and estimated he would be healthy enough to play by the end of the week.
