UPDATED: Baze will continue to need it. He learned Sunday afternoon that he will miss the rest of the Del Mar meet after a doctor recommended surgery, said Vic Stauffer, Baze's agent.
After being released from the hospital at about 4 p.m., Baze was examined by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky, who also attended to Bejarano last year. Umansky advised Baze to have surgery on the facial fractures he suffered when his mount reared up and head-butted him. Baze also broke his nose.
Baze will return home to Monrovia to see an eye doctor on Monday before returning to Del Mar on Thursday to consult with Umansky again. The operation is expected to take place within the next 10 days.
