Hank Blalock will undergo surgery to remove a rib on Monday. He could miss three months.

According to the Associated Press, "Blalock missed Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, but the Rangers thought he would be available for their first interleague series this weekend against Houston... Instead, team officials said Friday he had been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, which affects the nerves that pass through the shoulder into the neck. The surgery will remove a rib on the right side of his upper chest."

Wow, and I was debating picking him up in fantasy after he started hitting a bit better of late...thanks for the heads up.
