Updating previous reports, Milwaukee Brewers 3B Mat Gamel (shoulder) is expected to rejoin the team Monday, March 2, after his fiancee, Julianne, gave birth to the couple's first child Friday, Feb. 27, according to The Associated Press.
Mat Gamel had successful surgery on his right knee this morning, the Milwaukee Brewers announced.
Milwaukee infielder Mat Gamel had successful knee surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL, the team announced. Gamel, who is currently on the 60-day disabled list, also had surgery to repair a debridement of the lateral meniscus. He is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Analysis: Gamel started 20 games at first base for the Brewers during the team's first season without slugger Prince Fielder. The 26-year-old still struggled with a strikeout rate and fanned 15 times while producing one homer. Fantasy owners in seasonal formats should ditch Gamel to waivers.
Gamel (knee) underwent surgery Tuesday morning to repair his torn ACL, Brewers Media Relations Director Mike Vassallo reports.
Spin: The 26-year-old is out for the year and faces a lengthy recovery after suffering the injury on May 1. Gamel seemed primed for a breakout campaign after the departure of Prince Fielder in the offseason, but things didn't work out as planned for Gamel or the Brewers. Travis Ishikawa, Taylor Green - and maybe now Corey Hart - will continue to see time at first base going forward, with Gamel out of action until next spring at the earliest.
