Phillies pitcher Moyer recovering in hospital

Philadelphia Phillies pitching ace Jamie Moyer was in hospital with a blood infection, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Friday that lefthander Moyer was being cared for in the Thomas Jefferson University hospital.

"He is doing fine," Amaro said. He has "some type of blood infection and will likely stay one more night, getting the fever down and taking antibiotics. Not sure how he got it."

Moyer had surgery on October 2 to fix three torn tendons in his groin area.
