Yo: Hurt already!

Tom Haudricourt is reporting that Brewers ace, Yovani Gallardo likely has torn cartilage in his knee and might have to have it scoped, putting him on the sidelines for at least 2 weeks and then rehab for however long is necessary. I've had my knee scoped before, you start walking in 2 days, but you really can't plant or run for about a week, unless you're Phillip Rivers.

Both knees are very important for pitchers in order to shift weight and plant properly, so it really doesn't matter much which one it is, just that one of them is hurt. Let's hope that Yovani's age will allow him to heal faster and move on quickly.
