Brewers' Weeks Has Successful Surgery

Monday, October 6, 2008

(Sports Network) - Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks underwent a debridement of the meniscus of the left knee on Monday.

The procedure was performed by Dr. William Raasch at Froedtert Medical Center in Milwaukee and Weeks will begin therapy later in the week. He is expected to be ready for spring training.

Weeks, 26, suffered the injury running out a ground ball in Game 3's 4-1 win over Philadelphia. He landed awkwardly while stepping on first base and fell to the ground.

He was removed from the playoff roster prior to Sunday's 6-2 loss in Game 4, which knocked the team out of the playoffs.

Weeks batted .234 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI in 129 regular-season games this season. He failed to register a hit in four postseason at-bats.
