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. Jack Youngblood Jersey .

Though the 26-year-old said he was able to participate, coach Dwane Casey kept Johnson out as a precaution.GREEN BAY, Wis. - Randall Cobb got messy on his Lambeau Leap.A fan spilled ketchup on the receivers uniform during his post-touchdown celebration in the second quarter of Green Bays 38-17 win Sunday over the Carolina Panthers.It was about the only stain on an otherwise flawless first half for the Packers.Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, Cobb torched the Carolina secondary for 121 yards and a score on six catches and Green Bay dominated after building a 28-3 lead at halftime.The sure-tackling Packers (5-2) limited quarterback Cam Newton. Green Bay scored on its first three series, and the 25-point lead at halftime eliminated the threat of the Panthers ground game.Cobb said it might have been the teams most complete performance of the season.It definitely was a great game for us offensively, being able to put things together the way we did with the run, with the pass, play-action, Cobb said. So as long as we can continue to execute the game plan and make plays, were going to continue to have these types of wins.It even makes the ketchup bath worth it.I apologize to whoevers hot dog that was. It was fresh. I know that because I had all of the ketchup on me, Cobb said.Newton, who had a career-high 17 carries last week, had 41 yards rushing on seven attempts. He passed for 205 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown for Carolina (3-3-1).What I did wasnt good enough and I understand that, Newton said.His Packers counterpart was masterful against the Carolina defence. The 2011 MVP was 19 of 22 for 255 yards before leaving early in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand.We had 21 first-quarter points ... which made them one-dimensional, Rodgers said, especially with the way that Cam ran the ball last week.It was Rodgers sixth straight game without an interception, tying Bart Starr for the franchise record set in 1964.Rodgers finished Sunday with a quarterback rating of 154.5, and the Packers said he was just the second player in NFL history with a rating of 150 or more in two of the first seven games of the season.

Eddie Lacy and James Starks each added rushing touchdowns in the first quarter.The Panthers finally got their first touchdown with 9:39 left in the fourth quarter after Newton found receiver Kelvin Benjamin for a 13-yard score.Packers fans still celebrated with their team up by 28, belting out a hearty chorus of the Beer Barrel Polka during the break.Nearly everything went right for the Packers in the first half, when nearly everything went wrong for the Panthers.Carolina had pushed Green Bay back to third-and-12 on the Packers 28 on the first drive when the Panthers were whistled for back-to-back penalties. Rodgers scrambled for three yards on third-and-2 before finding Nelson for the long touchdown pass.Nelson got behind cornerback Antoine Cason, who then slipped. Safety Roman Harper watched Nelson sidestep around him and jog all the way into the end zone.It was an excellent read by Aaron, McCarthy said. Big-play production — thats how you win in this league.Green Bays next drive ended with Lacy high-stepping his way for a 5-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 5:53 left in the first quarter.Carolinas frustration mounted as the deficit grew.Linebacker Luke Kuechly was ejected late in the third quarter.
