Voit better after cortisone shot; unsure on surgery

NEW YORK -- New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit said late Friday that he feels better now that he has had a cortisone shot to help treat a sports hernia, but he remains unsure about whether he'll need a surgery to completely alleviate the issue.

Voit and the Yankees are planning to see how the shot takes effect within the next week before determining exactly what course of rehab action will come next.

"I trust what these guys are saying, and if after a week I don't feel like I should do [the surgery], I always have a chance to come back for the playoff run," Voit said.
