Despite some rumors floating around, Carlos Beltran just has a bone bruise in the area of his knee and is not facing possible career-threatening surgery. He did see a surgeon in Vail, Colorado who happens to specialize in a microfracture procedure that uses marrow and other clotting material to simulate lost cartilage in joints, but he will not be performing that surgery on Beltran. He agreed with Mets team doctors’ assessment that Beltran just has a bone bruise and should probably sit out a few weeks more before returning to play. Now everybody just take a deep breath and relax.
