Some late-breaking news to report: Ryan Zimmerman had a second surgery performed today on his broken left wrist to take care of a minor complication that arose from his first operation.
Here's the gist of it: Zimmerman had surgery last Wednesday to remove the broken hook of the hamate bone in his left wrist. In the wake of that surgery, he developed hematoma (a build-up of blood) in the wrist that was causing compression of some nerves and the carpal tunnel. So Dr. Richard Barth (who performed last week's procedure) went back into the wrist today and relieved the pressure caused by the hematoma.
Nationals officials insist this was not a significant setback or anything like that. They say Zimmerman's recovery time (four to six weeks) won't change because of this. But it will certainly be worth watching closely over the rest of the offseason, just in case any other complications arise.
