Poor guy...and poor Dodgers for spending so much on him...hope he rebounds from this setback.
From ESPN.com:
Los Angeles Dodgers: Pitcher Darren Dreifort will undergo surgery on his right knee in the next couple of weeks and will be out the rest of the season, the team announced Friday night.
Dreifort, 31, was examined by Dr. Ralph Gambardella, who diagnosed the right-hander's condition as a weak medial collateral ligament. The surgery, which will take place either June 17 or 18 requires a six-month recovery period. The operation will be performed by Gambardella and Dr. Frank Jobe. Dreifort had "Tommy John" ligament-replacement surgery on his right elbow in July 2001 and didn't pitch again until this season. It appeared he was going to return last summer, but he injured his knee during his rehabilitation and had to have arthroscopic surgery.
Dreifort is 4-4 with a 4.03 ERA in 10 starts with 67 strikeouts in 60 1-3 innings.
Against Colorado on May 28, he allowed six runs and nine hits in three innings in his shortest outing of the year. Afterward, Dodgers manager Jim Tracy said Dreifort was hampered by pain in his knee
