Colorado Rockies reliever Daniel Bard will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the team announced. The injury occurred during a throwing session last week, and there is currently no timetable for his return. Bard's absence will be felt as Rockies pitchers and catchers report for physicals ahead of the start of spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Bard, who is entering the final season of a $19 million, two-year deal, described the moment he got injured, saying, 'I was playing normal catch stuff and I moved a little awkwardly and I felt something pop.' The Denver Post first reported the news of his injury.
