Gilkey Eyes Possible Eye Surgery Amid Slump With Diamondbacks
Bernard Gilkey, acquired from the Mets five weeks ago, is dealing with vision issues and may undergo eye surgery after having pupils dilated and eyes tested. He has not played recently, batting .233 with one extra-base hit in 27 games, and notes his 20/30 vision while avoiding blame for his hitting slump. He wears contacts rarely, and was hit in the head on July 12, initially seeing flashes in his left eye.
