ARLINGTON -- Mitch Moreland and the Rangers decided on Tuesday night not to wait any longer on moving forward with surgery to take out bone chips in his left elbow.
Moreland will have the procedure done on Wednesday by team physician Dr. Keith Meister. Moreland woke up Tuesday with tightness in the elbow. He was scratched from the lineup before the 2-1 loss to the Mariners.
After they tried various treatments to straighten his elbow out, the decision was made to go ahead with surgery. He'll be out 2-3 weeks, depending how quickly he heals and can go out on a rehab assignment.
