Carlos Beltran, the Mets’ center fielder will be missing the entire spring training as well as their opening game as he underwent surgery on his right knee. The prognosis is he will only be able to resume with baseball related activities after 12 weeks. And it seems that his ballclub was not aware of him undergoing surgery. Last season he only got to play in 81 games, his lowest since his major league debut with the Kansas City Royals, because of on-going problems with the knee. But there had been no indication of renewed problems with Beltran as he even made a public appearance in Manhattan and said that he hasn’t experienced any pain in his knee, even his ballclub didn’t release any kind of statement about Beltran having any recurring injury. That’s why him undergoing an arthroscopic clean out of the arthritic area of his knee came as a surprise to everyone but Beltran.
