Brewers C Zaun to have surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

06/09/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milwaukee Brewers catcher Gregg Zaun will have surgery on his shoulder next Tuesday to repair a torn labrum, an injury which is season-ending and may be career-ending.

The Journal-Sentinel reported Wednesday that the procedure will be performed on his right shoulder in Cincinnati by Reds team doctor Timothy Kremchek and ends Zaun's year after just 28 games.

The 16-year veteran inked a $1.9 million deal in the offseason as a free agent from Tampa Bay and hit .265 with two homers and 14 RBI. His contract includes an team option for $2.25 million in 2011 with a $250,000 buyout.

Zaun believes the option won't be exercised even if the surgery allows him to return to play, due to his age (39) and the fact that the recovery time is 4-to-6 months.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
