Athletics' Moss to undergo hip surgery on Oct. 21

Oakland Athletics first baseman Brandon Moss will undergo hip surgery on October 21, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The news was an expected development for Moss, who was prepared for surgery on his right hip after an MRI in September revealed torn cartilage and bone-on-bone issues. He was able to play through it for the rest of the season, but his status for the start of the 2015 season is unclear at this point.
