Lenny Dykstra underwent surgery for appendicitis Wednesday night and will be lost to the Philadelphia Phillies for two to three weeks.
Dykstra, already out with a sore right quadriceps, complained of abdominal pain after reporting to Three Rivers Stadium for a Phillie-Pittsburgh Pirates game and went back to Philadelphia to be examined by team doctors.
Dykstra was admitted to Jefferson Hospital after arriving in Philadelphia and the operation was performed late Wednesday night.
Dykstra is hitting .296 with five homers and 20 RBIs with 25 doubles, three triples and 50 walks.
