Another blow for Cleveland: Sizemore out for season after surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore underwent surgery on Friday and will miss the rest of the regular season.

Sizemore was expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks following the procedure, but Dr. Richard Steadman ended up needing to perform microfracture surgery on his left knee, meaning the recovery period will take six to nine months, just in time for spring training next year.

The injury was suffered on May 16 when he dove into second base in a game against the Orioles. It was originally diagnosed as a deep bone bruise.

Sizemore struggled mightily for the second straight season in 2010, though last year inflammation in his left elbow and an unstable abdominal wall on his lower left side curbed his production.

He had surgery in the offseason to correct both injuries, but the career .272 hitter batted a mere .211 with 13 runs batted in and no home runs in 33 games this season.

The three-time All Star, who turns 28 in August, hit 33 home runs and stole 38 bases in 2008.
