Philadelphia, PA (The Phanatic Magazine) - Philadelphia Phillies first base coach Davey Lopes will undergo prostate cancer surgery later this month.
A full recovery is expected and Lopes will be sidelined for approximately six weeks. During Lopes' absence, Jerry Martin will coach first base for the Phils.
Martin, who played in the majors from 1979-84, is the outfield coordinator for the Phillies player development staff. Prior to this season, he was also the team's base running coordinator, a position he held since 2004.
