As stated in an earlier post on this blog, and now as reported by mlb.com, Victor Martinez could indeed return to the Detroit Tigers lineup in 2012. Here's the scoop...
"After being assessed by Dr. Richard Steadman on April 4, it was determined Martinez would not need to undergo a second surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, as previously expected, the Tigers said Wednesday morning. Martinez tore his ACL on Jan. 18 doing agility drills in Florida. The Tigers slugger was expected to need two surgeries, the first a microfracture surgery performed on Jan. 27. The estimated recovery time is seven months. It was the reconstruction surgery that was supposed to take place last week that would have all but guaranteed Martinez to be sidelined for the year. Instead, he will continue physical therapy until undergoing an MRI in July to determine if he can return late in the season."
