Jayson Werth

3/29/2006

Werth hasn't made much progress from offseason wrist surgery. The Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers' outfielder has been unable to swing a bat without pain all spring. There is no timetable for his return.

11/26/2005

Werth has undergone surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left wrist. The Dodgers' outfielder missed seven weeks early in the 2005 season after breaking the same wrist.

8/12/2005

Werth was back in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday night's meeting with the Philadelphia Phillies after being activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day. The outfielder, who missed more than two weeks with inflammation in his knee, went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in his return.

8/1/2005

Werth, who missed most of the first two months of 2005 with a fractured wrist, is going back on the 15-day disabled list with a left knee injury. The Dodgers' outfielder has had trouble fully extending the knee, and he has had to have fluid drained from it. Werth was placed on the DL Sunday with a .241 average, five home runs and 25 RBI in 56 games for the Dodgers.

7/28/2005

Werth had a small amount of fluid drained from his ailing left knee on Wednesday, making him unavailable for a meeting with the Cincinnati Reds. The outfielder, who was replaced in the Dodgers' lineup by Ricky Ledee, is not expected to miss much time, as the ailment is considered minor.

6/6/2005

Werth turned in his best performance of the season in Sunday's victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, boosting his average by nearly 70 points and finishing just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. The Dodgers' outfielder, who returned from a broken left wrist about two weeks ago, went 4-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored.

5/26/2005

After being activated from the 15-day disabled list by the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier in the day, Werth made his 2005 debut in Wednesday night's meeting with the San Francisco Giants. The outfielder, who had been recovering from a broken left wrist, got the starting nod in left field and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Jason Repko was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas to make room on the roster for Werth.

4/26/2005

Werth has resumed taking batting practice with the Dodgers, and on Monday, he said he hopes to join the 25-man roster within the next couple of weeks. The outfielder, who has been sidelined all season with a broken left wrist, will head to Florida by the end of the week to take part in some extended spring training games. Barring any setbacks, he'll then go on a minor league rehab assignment before being activated from the 15-day disabled list.

It will be mid-May before Werth is roaming the Dodgers' outfield. Jason Repko will continue to get the majority of the starts in left during Werth's absence, with Ricky Ledee and Jason Grabowski seeing some time there as well. In 89 games last season, Werth batted .262 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI and four stolen bases.

4/18/2005

Werth's rehab work for the broken bone in his left wrist has stalled, reportedly because of the scar tissue that has been causing him discomfort and has kept him from swinging a bat. The 25-year-old outfielder is now with the Dodgers, but he's no closer to rejoining the team that he was a few weeks ago. He'll stay with the team until he makes enough progress that he can start a minor league rehab assignment.

There's no timetable on how long Werth will be out. It's another frustrating start for Werth, who missed most of the first two months of 2004 with an oblique strain.

4/13/2005

The broken bone in Werth's left wrist has healed, but the Dodgers' outfielder continues to be bothered by discomfort, reportedly caused by scar tissue. As a result, he has yet to resume swinging a bat, and the team does not have a timetable for his return. Werth is currently on the 15-day disabled list.

Jason Repko will continue to get the majority of the starts in left field during Werth's absence, with Ricky Ledee and Jason Grabowski seeing some time there as well. In 89 games last season, Werth batted .262 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI and four stolen bases.

Werth continues to be bothered by discomfort in his left wrist, and he will begin the 2005 season on the 15-day disabled list. The Dodgers' outfielder, who has been sidelined since breaking a bone in the wrist more than a month ago, started swinging a bat late last week, but was shut down because of the pain. A timetable for his return has not been set.

Ricky Ledee is expected to get the majority of the starts in left field during Werth's absence, with Jason Repko and Jason Grabowski handling the backup duties. In 89 games last season, Werth batted .262 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI and four stolen bases.
