Galarraga Out Four to Six Weeks
Montreal Expo first baseman Andres Galarraga will be sidelined for four to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to his left knee.
Galarraga, who was put on the 15-day disabled list May 28, returned to Montreal from Atlanta earlier Saturday after experiencing minor swelling of his knee following a workout Friday.
Galarraga, who was hitting .255 with three home runs and 11 runs batted in, was examined by Expos’ physician, Dr. Larry Couglin, who then performed the surgery.
Galarraga had averaged 24 home runs and 88 RBIs over the past three seasons.
