Pie was scratched from the lineup Monday because of a recurrence of the testicular torsion, or twisted testicle, that cost him a day of workouts early in camp. The condition is not uncommon, and the corrective procedure is routine. But it's serious enough to affect blood flow and if left untreated could result in the loss of the testicle.
According to WebMD, the condition occurs most often in late adolescence or early adulthood, and the causes range from injury to the area, strenuous activity or, in some cases, for no apparent reason.
Pie, who isn't sure what caused his condition, originally hoped to have the surgery around the team's day off next week. A manual procedure alleviated the condition the first time it arose
