Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal will be out 4-6 weeks after tearing a tendon in his left knee on a checked swing during a loss to the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.
"It's a tough break for us," manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday. "Tougher for him."
Grandal, 32, fell to the ground moments after taking a pitch from Twins reliever Caleb Thielbar. At first, it looked like Grandal injured his ankle or calf but further examination revealed a torn tendon in the knee.
"It was a twist as he made his swing," La Russa said.
