NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland outfielder Grady Sizemore will have surgery on his left knee next week and is expected to miss at least six to eight weeks.

The three-time All-Star has a deep bone bruise in the knee he injured May 16, and the condition and stability of the cartilage beneath his kneecap will be assessed during the arthroscopic operation by Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colo.

Steadman pioneered the use of microfracture surgery, which stimulates stem cells to repair and re-grow cartilage. Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff says that neither microfracture, nor anything else, had been ruled out.

The Indians consulted several knee specialists about their star center fielder.

In 33 games this year, Sizemore has no homers, 15 runs and 13 RBIs with a .211 average.

Billy Gahram should just preach at Progressive Field.

Then everyone there can yell out "JESUS CHRIST"!...Like they do when they are at an Indians Game!
