Starter Andrew Triggs, who received a cortisone shot for his left hip strain nearly two weeks ago, may be looking at surgery if the hip doesn’t respond to treatment and rehab by the end of this month.
“There’s a tear in the labrum, we knew that going in,” Triggs said Saturday. “So we knew surgery was on the spectrum of possibilities. The hope is still to avoid that.”
Triggs said that so far, the cortisone hasn’t had the immediate impact that it did when he received the anti-inflammatory medication for a back injury, but he can ride an exercise bike and walk OK, so he remains optimistic.
