Wily Mo Peña had successful surgery performed in Cincinnati this morning by Dr. Tim Kremchek. The Nats are saying that Wily Mo will be out four to six months; he'll be ready for spring training 2009. According to the release, Kremchek repaired a "significant" tear of Peña's rotator cuff, as well as the tear and fraying of his posterior labrum.
Wily Mo is back. He's batting 5th in the order and starts in Left Field for the Nationals against the Atlanta Braves. This is his first game of the year.
