Hummel is still recovering from abdominal-groin surgery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hummel was placed on injured reserve in late September, and his groin injury was severe enough for him to require a procedure. He's already missed the four-game minimum required while on IR, but it sounds like Hummel still has a lengthy rehab timeline ahead of him.
