Ortiz Goes Under The Knife

The Boston Globe

Red Sox DH David Ortiz underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee today, according to a statement released by the team. The surgery, performed by team physician Dr. Thomas Gill, was done to address a cartilage problem in the knee. The surgery went well, according to the statement, and Ortiz is expected to begin rehabilitation immediately.

Hopefully while Papi is rehabbing he'll pick up a few more weights and a few less jelly donuts, because let's be honest, it wouldn't kill him to drop a few lbs' and lessen the pressure on those knees.
