At the start of September, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Philippon, the doctor who performed surgery on his hip earlier this season, both indicated that there was a chance that the third baseman may not need further surgery, as originally planned.

The latest piece of info comes from the Twitter account of FanHouse.com writer Ed Price. "I need a little more tests but so far I don't think he will need [further] surgery," Philippon is quoted as saying.
