Screws were inserted to stabilize his ankle joint and he has been placed in a splint for the next two weeks. At the end of the two-week period in the splint, Sizemore will wear a cam boot. Sizemore will have the screws removed in January and at that time he will be able to begin full weight-bearing activities.
According to the projected timetable, Sizemore is expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training in February.
He suffered the injury turning a double play pivot in an Arizona Fall League game on October 22.
Sizemore was named the Tigers Minor League Player of the Year in 2009 as he combined to hit .308 (160x520) with 88 runs scored, 39 doubles, five triples, 17 home runs, 66 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 130 games with Double A Erie and Triple A Toledo.
