Federowicz's MRI on his right knee unveiled a lateral meniscus tear, Corey Brock of Padres.com reports. The severity of the injury will likely require future arthroscopic surgery but the Padres have not yet given a timeline for when that might occur. Wil Nieves should take over backup catching duties behind Derek Norris in the event that Federowicz sees extended time off the field.
