Dr. Neal ElAttrache lifted all physical restrictions related to Manny Machado's reconstructive knee surgery. ElAttrache performed Machado's October surgery to repair a torn medial patellofemoral ligament in his left knee and has monitored him since. "He looks better every time I see him," ElAttrache said. "His kneecap is tracking normally, his muscle girth is almost the same as his opposite leg and his level of function exceeds where we thought he'd be at this point." Machado is no sure thing to start the season on the Opening Day roster, but his odds improved today.
