-- Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer has been hospitalized due to recurring symptoms from groin surgery in September.
The team announced Wednesday that the Souderton High School graduate has been admitted to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital but did not give any more information about his condition.
In a story by Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, Phillies physician Michael Ciccotti said Wednesday evening that Moyer ''is in no way seriously ill.''
''He's very comfortable,'' Ciccotti said. ''He's quite fine. He's walking. He's eating. He's completely comfortable and fine. We're just taking appropriate precautions, and also wanting to do what we can to make sure he's on track for spring training.''
Ciccotti said Moyer started to feel an increase in pain over the weekend, which prompted him to fly to Philadelphia on Tuesday to visit Hahnemann University Hospital, where Bill Meyers performed the surgery Oct. 2.
Moyer stayed the night at Thomas Jefferson, where he is expected to remain, possibly through the weekend for continued evaluation.
Moyer had been hospitalized with a blood infection Oct. 7, five days following his surgery. He spent three nights in the hospital before being released.
Ciccotti said Moyer's current symptoms don't seem to be related to last month's blood infection, but he hasn't ruled it out.
Ciccotti said Moyer's rehab following surgery had gone ''very well,'' and despite his setbacks, he said Moyer still could be ready to participate at the beginning of spring training in mid-February.
