Brewers SP Yovani Gallardo had surgery Tuesday morning to repair the ACL he tore in his right knee May 1. Assistant general manager Gord Ash said the results were "outstanding" and Gallardo would begin rehabilitation Wednesday. (Updated 05/14/2008).
Injury Report
Knee - 15-day DL. Might be out for the season (Updated - 5/4/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The 22-year-old right-hander was expected to play a prominent role as the No. 2 starter behind Ben Sheets after he went 9-5 with a 3.67 ERA following his midseason callup last year. But Gallardo, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee just before spring training, made three starts before being injured while trying to hurdle a baserunner against the Chicago Cubs on May 1. Gallardo was on the ground for a few minutes, but managed to walk it off and keep pitching, completing the fifth inning and another. In his three starts, he didn't have a decision with a 1.80 ERA in 20 innings. It's unlikely Gallardo will be back in 2008, so unless you have ample DL spots, cut him in seasonal leagues. But he still has great value in long-term keeper formats. (Updated 05/14/2008).
