Matt LaPorta underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left hip and left big toe on Tuesday.
The hip surgery is expected to require 4-6 months of recovery time, which is likely to slow LaPorta down at the beginning of next season. We still expect him to be a mixed league factor in 2010, but odds are against him getting off to a fast start.

Matt LaPorta (left hip inflammation) was held out of the lineup Saturday and may not play for a couple more days.
LaPorta won't be at 100 percent for the rest of the year, but is still expected to get some at-bats before the season ends. He's a couple days away from playing the field. The hamstring first became an issue last Tuesday.

LaPorta was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to hip inflammation.
 Matt LaPorta-OF - Indians Sep. 23 - 7:35 pm et

Matt LaPorta is out of the lineup Wednesday with hip inflammation.
No word yet on how long he has been dealing with the injury. It flared up Tuesday while he rounded third in the second inning. Manager Eric Wedge said he believes the injury is a byproduct of LaPorta's recent move from the outfield to first base. "You're using different muscles at first base," Wedge said. "It's a lot more squatting and bending." Regardless, the Indians will keep LaPorta at first for the duration of the season because they believe that is his long-term position. For now, consider him day-to-day.

 Matt LaPorta-OF - Indians Sep. 16 - 4:16 pm et

Matt LaPorta drove in all three Indians runs Wednesday with a two-run homer and an RBI single.
LaPorta had the nice game in what was just his third start at first base. He hasn't been walking at all, which is a big surprise, but he's hit .292 with five homers and eight doubles in 96 at-bats since returning from the minors.
