CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Right-hander Cody Anderson underwent an emergency appendectomy Tuesday night after experiencing pain in his lower abdomen. The surgery was performed at the St. Joseph's Westgate Medical Center in Glendale, Ariz.
Anderson, who went 7-3 with a 3.05 ERA for the Indians as a rookie last season, has been training for much of the off-season at the team's spring training site in Goodyear, Ariz. He is expected to need the next two to four weeks to recover from the operation.
Indians pitchers and catchers report to Goodyear on Feb. 17 to start spring training.
