KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA (TICKER) —Houston Astros lefthander Mike Hampton returned
to team headquarters Monday afternoon after an EKG test revealed an irregular
heartbeat.
This is another in a long line of setbacks for the oft-injured Hampton, who
missed the entire 2006 and 2007 seasons following Tommy John surgery in
September 2005.
The Astros, however, did not think the latest problem is serious.
Hampton, 36, was examined by Astros team physican Dr. Jim Muntz on Monday. When
he returns to Houston, he will undergo a procedure to correct the heartbeat
with the application of an electrical current.
The Astros expect that Hampton will be back at camp by Thursday.
“Mike had an irregularity in his heartbeat rhythm,”said Dr. Michael Link, who
discovered Hampton's condition during a routine physical Saturday.“He has been
sent to Houston to condense his evaluation and treatment so he can return in as
short a time as possible.”
According to Link, Hampton is in good condition and is expected to be at full
speed when he returns to Kissimmee.
“He had no symptoms and was completely unaware of this,”Link said.“How long
he's had it is unknown, but it is less than a year. It did not show up at his
physical last year during spring training.”
Hampton spent four seasons with the Astros early in his career (1994-99) and
returned to Houston when he was signed as a free agent in the offseason. He has
a career mark of 141-105 with a 4.01 ERA in 14 seasons.
