Cobb Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 ESPN.com CLEVELAND -- Grady Sizemore sacrificed one season for what he hopes are many more. The Indians' All-Star center fielder, and face of Cleveland's franchise, will miss the remainder of this season after having microfracture surgery on his left knee. Sizemore underwent a 90-minute operation on Friday in Vail, Colo. The team said Dr. Richard Steadman found unstable cartilage in the knee, and having discussed the options prior to the operation, Sizemore preferred the microfracture surgery, which involves small holes being drilled into the kneecap to stimulate cartilage growth, as opposed to facing more future procedures. Steadman couldn't determine the extent of the damage in Sizemore's knee until he began operating. "It's tough because we were hoping he wouldn't have to get the microfracture surgery but this is what is best for him," Indians manager Manny Acta said before the start of a three-game series in Chicago. "It's going to give him the best chance to play longer and be as healthy as he can. What's good for him is good for us." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
