Sportsguy9695 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 A bad week on the injury front just got worse for the Cleveland Indians.Designated hitter Travis Hafner will have surgery on his right knee Thursday and is expected to miss four to six weeks.Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said Wednesday that Hafner would have an arthroscopic procedure to repair fraying and irritation in his right meniscus. Hafner was placed on the 15-day disabled list before Wednesday's game against Kansas City.Hafner, who will turn 35 on June 3, is making $13 million in the final season of a four-year, $57 million contract. The Indians hold a club option for next season worth $13 million and a $2.75 million buyout. This is the sixth trip to the DL in five seasons for Hafner. Three of the DL stints have been because of a right shoulder injury, which he had surgery on following the 2008 season.Hafner hasn't played since May 23. He is hitting .242 with six home runs and 23 RBIs in 39 games. Source: ESPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
