Get Well Soon - Brandon Moss!

BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox outfielder Brandon Moss had an appendectomy at Massachusetts General Hospital on Saturday night, one day after hitting a solo homer to spark a victory.

"Brandon Moss is in surgery right now having his appendix removed," Boston manager Terry Francona said after the Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 12-4 on Saturday night. "He was feeling ill and the medical team felt that there was a possibility rather than just an abdominal flu that this was a possibility."

Team spokesman John Blake said about 30 minutes later that Moss was out of surgery.
