HOUSTON -- Astros pitcher Carlos Hernandez will miss the 2003 season following surgery Tuesday on his left shoulder.
Hernandez, a left-hander, had the operation Tuesday to repair tear in his rotator cuff and labrum. Dr. James Andrews also tightened the capsule in Hernandez's shoulder during the operation, performed in Birmingham, Ala.
Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker said Hernandez's recovery time is estimated to be nine to 11 months.
"We are optimistic that Carlos will be able to return,'' Hunsicker said.
Hernandez, 22, went 8-5 with a 3.92 earned-run average in 26 games.
