Alex Avila will miss at least the next two games with a sore left patella tendon. It sounds like just a day-to-day type injury for now, but it must be noted that Avila dealt with patella soreness down the stretch last season, and it was a big reason why he batted just .073/.116/.146 during the playoffs. At this point, it doesn't appear to be something that will force him to the disabled list.
