Newsbreakers
September 11, 2008
Ian Kinsler's season is over due to his sports hernia, and on Thursday he had successful surgery to repair the injury, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View:Kinsler should be back to working out in eight weeks with little reason to believe that the injury will linger on into next season.
September 4, 2008
Ian Kinsler had hoped to return next week to the playing field, but instead he will undergo surgery for his sports hernia thereby ending his 2008 season, according to the Dallas Morning News. "The doctor said the progress I was making just wasn't significant enough and if you don't have surgery for this, it's something you are always going to be dealing with," Kinsler said. "It's the only option."

Our View:Kinsler will have the surgery on September 11th, a rather unsatisfactory ending to what was shaping up to be a truly historic season. Kinsler finishes the year hitting .319-18-71-102-26, a truly spectacular performance. However, this is the third straight year in which the second baseman has missed at least a month of action. He should be fine by the start of next year as the typical recovery time for this procedure is two months. Joaquin Arias figures to fill in at second base.
August 31, 2008
Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler has only hit off a tee, has not taken any ground balls or even run hard, and is not close to returning to the team as his sports hernia is slow to heal, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Our View:Kinsler would not be back until September 9 at the earliest, but that seems highly unlikely. Fantasy owners with Kinsler on their roster may want to cut bait and try to find someone else for the rest of the year.
August 27, 2008
There is a possibility that Rangers second baseman could miss the rest of the season, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Kinsler will attempt to take batting practice and do some running this week, but should that not go well, it is likely he will shut it down the remainder of the year.

Our View:That would be a disappointment to fantasy owners, as he was having a superb season, hitting for average and power while also stealing bases.
August 23, 2008
Ian Kinsler, who is dealing with a sports hernia, is targeting September 5 for his return to the Rangers' lineup, according to the Dallas Morning News. This is favorable news, but fantasy owners should not get too excited as Kinsler said, "I’ll be smart about it. I want to play the last month, but we’ll see."

Our View:Kinsler should remain held on fantasy rosters, but there is still the possibility he won't return with just a handful of weeks left in the regular season.
