DENVER -- Colorado Rockies star outfielder Carlos Gonzalez had a small tumour removed from his left index finger Tuesday during a procedure at the Cleveland Clinic. Gonzalez underwent exploratory surgery with Dr. Thomas Graham and a growth was found beneath the sheath around the muscle. Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger said these type of tumors are common and the expectation is a biopsy will determine the tumour is benign. "These little benign tumors, which we hope it is, is probably the second most common finding in the finger besides cysts," Dugger said. "Usually repetitive trauma causes it. "They call them cell tumors. Pretty common within the sheath of these fingers. Usually benign. Occasionally you can come up with something." Gonzalez had his left arm in a sling after the surgery. He is expected to return to Denver Wednesday. "It helps explain some of the things that CarGos been dealing with and why that finger kept blowing up on him," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It helps answer some of the questions we had about him. Gonzalez has been experiencing soreness and swelling in the finger for a while. He was examined by Graham on May 29 in Cleveland. He continued to play but was placed on the 15-day DL on June 4 and is expected to miss a few weeks. "Typically, its a couple weeks for the tissue to heal," Dugger said. "Then hell get back his strength and start swinging. It was a little bit more invasive, meaning they took out a larger piece than they thought -- what the MRI revealed." Gonzalez has dealt with finger issues in the past. Last season he played in just 19 games after the All-Star break due to a sprained middle finger on his right hand. That injury did not require surgery. Colorado has been hit hard with injuries in the last month. Third baseman Nolan Arenado (broken left finger) is expected to miss another month and outfielder Michael Cuddyer is out for at least six weeks with a fractured left shoulder suffered Thursday. The rotation has been decimated as well. Jordan Lyles (broken hand), Tyler Chatwood (right elbow strain), Brett Anderson (fractured left index finger) and rookie Eddie Butler (right rotator cuff inflammation) are on the disabled list. Left-hander Tyler Matzek, the teams first-round pick in 2009, will be the third Rockies pitcher in a week to make his major league debut when he starts Wednesdays game. "Its something as a professional team weve got to push through, push forward," Cuddyer said.

The first match was a 1-1 draw. A long kick by Atletico goalkeeper Miguel Moya was headed skywards by Madrid defender Raphael Varane and Atleticos midfielder Antoine Griezmann then directed the ball toward newly-signed striker Mandzukic, who beat goalkeeper Iker Casillas with a powerful shot. Atletico had already begun strongly with two fast-paced attacks in the first minute. Madrids new signing James Rodriguez began the match on the left wing with Cristiano Ronaldo rested on the bench alongside new goalkeeper Keylor Navas. It was not until the 25th minute that Madrid threatened Moyas goal with a shot by Rodriguez. The Super Cup is a two-legged match-up played before the Primera Liga season starts between the champions of the previous Liga -- Atletico this year -- and the winner of previous seasons Copa del Rey -- Madrid. The last time Atletico won the Super Cup was 29 years ago. "To have won this match against a rival as important as Real Madrid gives us energy to focus on what will follow," said Atletico coach Diego Simeone, whose team lost to Madrid 4-1 in the Champions League final in May. Angel Di Maria and Sami Khedira were not included in the squad by Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach had previously said Di Maria had rejected Madrids offer for an extension and was hence looking to transfer to another club, with Manchester United reportedly keen on the Argentine winger. France winger Griezmann hit a long shot in the 15th minute that was deflected for a corner, a move that led to a period of pressure on Maddrids goal.dddddddddddd With Atletico defender Juan "Juanfran" Torres off the field receiving treatment for a cut lip that had stained his jersey with blood, Madrid launched a rapid attack that ended when Moya saved Rodriguezs 25th minute shot. Shortly afterward, the referee ejected Simeone for dissent after the Atletico coach had vociferously called for Torres rapid reincorporation onto the field because his treatment had finished. Madrid tried to keep the pressure up and Rodriguez headed just wide of the post in the 36th, and two minutes later Gareth Bale shot just wide from a pass supplied by the Colombia forward. "We lost control of the match trying to play too many long balls without enough possession," said Ancelotti. "The second half was more complicated, we gave Atletico more chances to defend just as they wanted to." Raul Garcia hit a long shot in the 44th that forced a save from Casillas. A minute later Garcia narrowly missed with a header from a corner kick just before Rodriguez countered with his third attempt on goal. Ronaldo came on in the second half but Atletico maintained the pressure and Garcia came close to scoring the second when his 48th-minute shot was tipped by Casillas onto the frame of the goal. Madrid threaded a skilful passing attack past Atleticos midfield in the 61st, but it ended with Moya saving Ronaldos shot. With Simeone pacing in the stands, Ronaldo hit a free kick into the defenders wall in the 68th. This was followed by another period of pressure from Atletico that saw two shots go just wide in three minutes. Midfielder Luka Modric was ejected on a second yellow card in stoppage time and teammate Sergio Ramos just missed a header that could have led to extra time. ' ' '
