Helton Out For Season, Will Undergo Hip Surgery

Todd Helton’s 2012 season is over. The long-time Colorado Rockies first baseman will have surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip. Recovery time for such a procedure is six months. Helton was in the midst of his worst offensive season. The 38 year-old was batting just .238 with seven home runs and 37 RBI and had only recently come off the disabled list as he tried to heal his hip injury with rest. Helton says his goal is to play at the start of the 2013 season, the last year on his current contract.
