Anyone hear about the freak accident Micheal Saunders had for the Blue Jays? He was tracking a fly ball during spring training and tripped over a sprinkler head. Tore his meniscus. But what happened after he got out of surgery is crazy.
Did Vaughn just have his removed or repaired?
Blue Jays' Michael Saunders: 'No pain' day after surgery
Blue Jays outfielder Michael Saunders said Saturday that he's feeling no pain one day after undergoing knee surgery, the Toronto Sun reports.
"I feel great," Saunders said. "I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning and I was walking around just fine. I walked out of surgery just fine. I actually started doing some exercises today and just got checked out by the doctor and he was pleasantly surprised with what he saw. There's not as much swelling as he originally thought. Everything is checking out so far and everything is good news. No pain. It feels like I banged my knee on a pole and it's a tiny bit swollen."
Saunders suffered a torn meniscus while tracking a foul ball Wednesday, tripping over a sprinkler head and hearing a popping sound. After initially being told he could need to have the meniscus repaired, a procedure that carries a recovery time of three-to-five months, Saunders had the torn portion of the meniscus removed, which places him on track to return to action within six weeks. While the outfielder is excited to be back on the field in a much shorter time, he indicated he'll be cautious with his rehab.
