St. Louis Cardinals: Randal Grichuk has Knee Surgery After 2016 Season

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Randal Grichuk now needs a little more than a month to recover from knee surgery. The surgery occurred at the end of the 2016 season and was intended to address soreness and inflammation in his left knee. According to Derrick Goold of STLToday.com, Grichuk had soreness, irritation, and a clicking that bothered him. These issues apparently started in late April.

The surgery ultimately was minor and removed loose cartilage in the left knee. The loose cartilage, hopefully, was the cause of the irritation and clicking. According to Goold, Grichuk said he doesn’t know if the soreness in his knee limited his movement in the outfield, but said it hasn’t limited his preparation for this coming season.
