Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
CLEVELAND, June 4 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Indians announced Friday that center fielder Grady Sizemore has undergone knee surgery and would be lost for the remainder of the season.
It was originally expected that Sizemore would miss no more than two months, but the damage to his knee turned out to be more serious than doctors had first thought. The recovery period will be from six to nine months.
Sizemore suffered the injury May 16 sliding into second base during a game against Baltimore.
He also had surgeries following the 2009 season to repair inflammation in his left elbow and an unstable abdominal wall. Sizemore, a career .272 hitter, was batting .211 with 13 RBI and no home runs in 33 games this season.
