DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Tigers All-Star third baseman Brandon
Inge has undergone surgery on both knees.
The team said Wednesday the procedure at the Detroit Medical
Center addressed chronic patellar tendinitis that plagued Inge
throughout this past season. Tuesday's procedure involved the
debridement and repair of the patellar tendon in both knees.
Inge will be non-weight bearing for the first six weeks as he
regains a full range of motion, then will begin a strengthen and
rehabilitation program.
Inge is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in
February.
The 32-year-old native of Lynchburg, Va., hit .230 with 27 home
runs and 84 RBIs in 161 games.
