Pie to Let Surgeon Operate on Junk

Felix Pie will miss 3-5 days according to Cubs.com to correct soreness in his testicle.

The Cubs announced Monday that outfielder Felix Pie will undergo a procedure to correct testicular torsion and will be sidelined three to five days. Pie has been bothered by this all spring, and the Cubs had hoped to delay the outpatient surgery so they could use the off-day on March 17 as one of the days to heal.

However, Pie, 23, reported to the Cubs' facility on Monday with considerable soreness. If not corrected, he could risk losing the testicle.

I was hopeful that Sam Fuld would be the everyday centerfielder, but never did I wish he would get his chance this way. Felix, we wish you and your junk a speedy recovery.
