PHOENIX - Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Craig Counsell is expected to make a complete recovery after having a ligament in his right thumb repaired Thursday.
<br>
<br>
"Given the surgical findings and the success of the repair, I am very optimistic for a full recovery," hand surgeon Don Sheridan said. "Craig's rehabilitation program will require 10-to-12 weeks in order to allow for ligament healing, restoration of range of motion and strengthening."
<br>
<br>
Sheridan, assisted by team doctor Michael Lee, rejoined the torn ulna collateral ligament and the bone in the one-hour procedure.
<br>
<br>
Counsell dislocated the thumb sliding into second base Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves. He had an MRI the next day, which revealed the torn ligament.
<br>
<br>
Counsell missed the final two months of last season with a neck injury that required fusion surgery.
