Braves catcher has knee surgery

Braves catcher Christian Bethancourt had arthroscopic surgery to repair torn meniscus in his left knee.

The rehabilitation period for the procedure is relatively brief and Bethancourt is expected to be cleared for workouts by late November.

Bethancourt posted photos of his wrapped knee post-surgery on his Instagram page and wrote: “Not the best way to start the offseason but oh well I guess this is life .. Last night I had surgery on my left knee to repair one of my meniscus .. Thank God everything went well and will be back to work in less then 2 months.”
