Oakland A’s catcher Chris Herrmann underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, the team announced Saturday morning. The need for the operation was first reported on Wednesday, and it eventually took place on Friday.
According to the press release, the surgery “involved a chondroplasty procedure to Herrmann’s central trochlea of his right knee as well as cleaning up loose bodies in the knee.” He will be reevaluated in two weeks, and until then there’s not a specific timetable for his return.
In the meantime, for now it doesn’t look like the A’s will make any moves to replace Herrmann.
