New York Mets News: Carlos Beltran Has Knee Surgery, Out 8-12 Weeks

by ray guilfoyle

I am participating in an NL-only draft over at MDC and I saw this on Will Carroll’s twitter site:

  • Big news pending for mets. Doesn't sound good. 43 minutes ago from Tweetie

    • The first name that popped into my head was Jose Reyes. Then Johan Santana. Or, maybe they signed pitcher Joel Pineiro?

    Time will tell. Will update when the news is announced.

    Lizard's comment lead me to this from Joel Sherman's twitter site:

    Trying to get 2d confirmation, but hear that Beltran had microfracture knee surgery today without #Mets permission 2 minutes ago from web

    Wow-who plays centerfield for the Mets? Angel Pagan's stock may have just skyrocketed. Or Fernando Martinez? Not sure FMart is ready yet.

    More from Sherman:

    2d source is describing this as "scope clean up" for beltran. but #Mets are acting like this was more than routine less than 20 seconds ago from web

    This from Jon Heyman at SI.com:

    Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran underwent minor knee surgery Wednesday, sources connected to the Mets told SI.com.

    Beltran will need 8-12 weeks of rehab and is expected to be recovered at or around Opening Day. The Mets begin the season at home vs. the Marlins on April 5.

    Beltran missed significant time last season because of a bone bruise behind the right knee cap

    8-12 weeks doesn’t sound minor to me. If 8 weeks, he is back mid-April to get into playing shape, etc. If 12 weeks, mid to late May??

    The latest from Sherman:

    another source insists it was not microfracture surgery, but standard scope and Mets team phys Altchek and #Mets were OK on this 3 minutes ago from web

    If its a Mets source, it was microfracture surgery.
