Bad News for the Brewers
Yovani Gallardo torn cartilage in his knee:
Gallardo will return to Milwaukee on Monday and have the arthroscopic procedure Tuesday. He then will return to the Brewers' camp to begin physical therapy.
Brewers spokesman Tyler Barnes said Sunday the right-hander had discomfort a few days ago after a throwing session. His knee swelled up afterward.
In his first season in the majors, Gallardo repeated his minor league performance of lots of strikeouts, few walks and few home runs allowed. Doctors do well repairing knees since the introduction of arthroscopic surgery. I would guess, however, that he'll need an extended spring training.
