Shoemaker Under the Knife

The news keeps getting worse for Matt Shoemaker:

After examination at the ballpark demonstrated he was responsive, Shoemaker was transported to Harborview Medical Center. Initial CT scans showed he suffered a small skull fracture and a hematoma. Doctors administered additional scans and at about 9 p.m., a third set of scans showed the bleeding had not ceased.

Shoemaker was wheeled into surgery. While the team traveled to Oakland for its 1 p.m. game today against the Athletics, Angels head athletic trainer Adam Nevala stayed in Seattle to tend to the 29-year-old right-hander, and will remain there until Shoemaker is ready to return to Orange County, which the team hopes will be later this week.

Again, I offer my wishes for a speedy recovery. He is on the disabled list, and will not play again this season.
