Reds right-hander Aaron Harang is out for the rest of the 2009 season after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, according to a report from CBSSports.com. From the report:

Harang woke Saturday morning in Pittsburgh with pain near is abdomen. He was examined later that afternoon and driven by team clubhouse manager Rick Stowe back to Cincinnati, where the surgery was performed at The Good Samaritan Hospital.

The 31-year-old Harang will be restricted from strenuous physical activity for three weeks, but manager Dusty Baker said the surgery was successful.

Harang was 6-14 with a 4.21 ERA in 162.1 innings this year.
