A-Rod set to undergo hip surgery January 16
Alex Rodriguez - 3B - New York Yankees

Alex Rodriguez will have hip surgery on January 16.

The swelling has finally dissipated in his hip to the point where doctors can operate. A lengthy rehab (probably six months) will follow, meaning Rodriguez won't be ready to return to the Yankees until June or July. Kevin Youkilis will open the 2013 season as the Yanks' third baseman.
