Indians' Travis Hafner undergoes knee surgery, could miss six weeks
Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner has undergone surgery on his right knee and could be sidelined six weeks.
The club says the 30-minute operation to clean up frayed cartilage was done Thursday at the Cleveland Clinic.
Hafner was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday. The Indians, however, say he will need at least one month to recover.
Hafner is in the final year of a four-year, $57 million contract. He is batting .242 with six home runs and 23 RBI in 39 games. His loss weakens a lineup already missing catcher Carlos Santana, who is on the seven-day DL with a concussion.
The Indians have lost five and six and fallen into second place in the AL Central behind the Chicago White Sox.
