So it looks like he got more than a sprain: Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana<http://prlb.baseball.cbssports.com/players/playerpage/1208743/carlos-santana> is set to have surgery Friday on his injured left knee and will miss the rest of the season. Santana was hurt Monday night in a home-plate collision with Boston's Ryan Kalish<http://prlb.baseball.cbssports.com/players/playerpage/1630083/ryan-kalish>. The surgery will be performed to repair the rookie's lateral collateral ligament. The Indians said that the recovery time is four to six months and that Santana is expected to be ready for the 2011 season. "This is a rare baseball operation," Cleveland trainer Lonnie Soloff said. "It certainly could have been much worse, but we feel that we are fortunate with the limits of the injuries that were sustained. Any surgery on a catcher has to be approached thoughtfully and seriously."
