SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) Josh Hamilton has had another surgery on his balky left knee, ending any chance of the 2010 AL MVP making the Texas Rangers’ opening day roster.
The arthroscopic procedure Monday was to repair some damaged meniscus cartilage in his left knee. There were no issues with the surgically repaired ACL in that knee.
Hamilton had left spring training in Arizona and returned to Houston for the second time in less than a week to be examined by Dr. Walt Lowe, who also performed Hamilton’s season-ending surgery last June.
The latest knee procedure is the 11th in Hamilton’s career, and the third since the 35-year-old slugger last played in the majors in 2015.
Hamilton, in camp on a minor league contract, faces six weeks of rehabilitation before he will be able to start running again.
