Beltran is expected to miss the first half of the 2018 season after the team announced he underwent two successful surgeries on his right knee. The second of the two surgeries was performed Nov. 30, and team orthopedic surgeon Andrew Cooper estimated a nine-month recovery.
“Because it was a multi-ligament reconstruction, we staged him in his procedures,” Cooper said in a team release. “He should do great. This is a real injury, and if anyone will do the work to get fully recovered, it’s Tony.”
Beltran injured his ACL, LCL and posterolateral corner in RSL’s Oct. 15 match at Colorado.
