Griffey has minor surgery on knee
White Sox OF Ken Griffey had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this week. During Tuesday's operation in Cincinnati, Reds orthopedic physician Dr. Tim Kremchek repaired partially torn cartilage and meniscus in the troublesome left knee, according to Griffey's agent, Brian Goldberg. Recovery time is generally four to eight weeks. "It was bothering him from early in the season, and he made a decision to play through it as long as he was able to," Goldberg said Wednesday. "Not making excuses, but there is no doubt he was having trouble planting that left leg as far as generating power and bat speed and stopping and starting."
