Cleveland -- The Cleveland Indians announced Friday that center fielder Grady Sizemore has undergone knee surgery and would be lost for the remainder of the season.
It was originally expected that Sizemore would miss no more than two months, but the damage to his knee turned out to be more serious than doctors had first thought. The recovery period will be from six to nine months.
Sizemore suffered the injury May 16 sliding into second base during a game against Baltimore.
He also had surgeries following the 2009 season to repair inflammation in his left elbow and an unstable abdominal wall. Sizemore, a career .272 hitter, was batting .211 with 13 RBI and no home runs in 33 games this season.

Cleveland, Sept. 4: Cleveland center fielder Grady Sizemore needs surgeries on his left elbow and left side and will not play again this season.
The team said Friday the elbow surgery will be an arthroscopic procedure designed to eliminate his constant pain and the second is for "an unstable abdominal wall."
The elbow surgery will be performed next week at Cleveland Clinic by Dr. Mark Schickendantz, the team's medical director.
Sizemore, 27, went to the disabled list for the first time in his career with the elbow injury from May 31-June 23, and it bothered him the entire season.
"He's walking around like a lost man," head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said on the team's Web site.
