Can an employer hold me back from a promotion due to me taking time off for medical leave

I am an employee of 10 years. I was out for 7 weeks for back surgery. I returned to work, full time without limitations, in Feb. A position is coming open but I am being told that due to my time off I am not eligable. They are considering 2 others, a new hire of 6 weeks or a employee that has only been here for 2 years. Can they use that excuse to pass me over?
