CLEARWATER, Fla. — Philadelphia Phillies first base coach Davey Lopes has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Team officials say he is expected to make a full recovery.

Lopes (LOHPS) will have surgery later this month and is expected to miss six weeks with the team.

The cancer was found after Lopes went through a routine examination with the rest of the coaching staff on Feb. 12. Lopes is 62 and is entering his second season with the Phillies coaching staff.

Jerry Martin, a minor league outfield and base-running coach in the organization, will take over temporarily as first base coach and outfield coordinator.
