Danny Knobler of ESPNLosAngeles.com reports that Alex Guerrero (ear) could miss five weeks of action. Guerrero had to undergo plastic surgery after having part of his ear bitten off by Triple-A Albuquerque teammate Miguel Olivo during an altercation Tuesday. The Cuban defector is hitting .368/.411/.737 with 10 homers and 29 RBI in 32 games this season at Albuquerque, but obviously he won't be a candidate for a promotion for a while.
What's the deal with people biting ears? How does this happen in a fight anyway? I'd ask Guerrero but he likely wouldn't hear me anyway.
