It's been a bizarre and unfortunate season for New York Mets first baseman Ike Davis, who was having a fantastic season before a collision knocked him out of a game in May. The first diagnosis was an ankle sprain and bone bruise, which isn't especially scary, and he was supposed to be out for a couple of weeks. But the diagnoses kept getting worse and worse, peaking with a fear that Davis would need microfracture surgery on his ankle, which is an especially risky procedure.
Ike Davis Injury: Ankle Improves, Surgery Isn’t Necessary
So in the context of all that, there’s finally a little good news on the Davis front. From Adam Rubin:
Ike Davis said doctors agree -- no surgery.Davis is still out for the season, but if he had to undergo the microfracture surgery, there wasn’t a guarantee that he’d be healthy and 100% for the start of the 2012 season. All things considered, the Mets made their peace with the idea that Davis was gone for this season, so this definitely qualifies as a positive development.
