Joe Thatcher could need arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Thatcher went on the DL last month with tendinitis in the knee, but he soon developed sharp pain after that. He did say it's been "a lot better" in recent days to the point where he still thinks he could return later this season. Even if he does come back this year, Thatcher will have surgery over the offseason to address the issue.
