Miami Marlins center fielder Jonathan Davis of Camden, Arkansas will undergo knee surgery on Thursday to repair his meniscus according to ESPN. It is believed there is a possibility that Davis could be out for the remainder of the regular season due to the surgery, as the initial estimated recovery time is anywhere between three to six months.
How and when did the injury happen?
Davis suffered the injury as he was trying to catch a fly ball off the bat of Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman of San Diego, California in the top of the fifth inning on Tuesday. Edman ended up recording a double. Davis was replaced in the Marlins lineup by rookie Dane Myers of Columbus, Texas. The Marlins meanwhile spanked the Cardinals 15-2 in the game, as Miami beat up Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright and reliever James Naile.
