Manny Machado is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day following surgery Monday on his left knee.
The surgery, which included an arthroscopy and open reconstruction of the medial patellar femoral ligament, went "as expected." However, he was given a timetable of six months rather than the 4-6 months as originally expected, which means Machado is expected to miss all of spring training. He'll rehab for a few weeks in California, where he had the surgery, before moving his rehab to Miami.
