Atlanta Braves Afternoon Chop: Surgery, Bats, Nail-Biter

Atlanta Braves catcher Christian Bethancourt underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on Monday night. Bethancourt expects to return to his offseason training regimen before December.

The 24-year-old catcher announced the procedure on his Instagram page, writing, “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.”
