Pirates Prospects has learned that left-handed pitcher Braeden Ogle underwent knee surgery on Tuesday morning in Pittsburgh to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. The surgery was successful and his return time is 3-5 weeks. While that ends his regular season and his chance to play in the Fall Instructional League, he will have a full off-season to get into shape for next year. He will attend Instructs at Pirate City as a rehab player.
Ogle believes he hurt his knee originally while sliding into a base during his senior year in high school, which was last year before he was drafted in the fourth round by the Pirates.
