D-Mac Out 2-4 Weeks
Blecch:
Dallas McPherson had an epidural Wednesday morning and will miss 2-4 weeks with a herniated disk in his lower back.McPherson flew back to Los Angeles on Tuesday for further evaluation by back specialist Robert Watkins after an MRI revealed the protrusion.
The rookie slugger and projected starting third baseman was sidelined after the Angels' first Cactus League game on March 3, when he felt tightness and spasms in the area. McPherson also suffered a ruptured disk in his lower back prior to the 2003 season.
McPherson's prognosis is worse than initially hoped, placing his prospects of getting ready in time for Opening Day in jeopardy.
"He's going to shut it down until everything calms down," manager Mike Scioscia said, adding that McPherson exacerbated the injury while doing some rotational exercises Tuesday morning.
