Beltran has surgery, to miss opener: Carlos Beltran had surgery on his troublesome right knee Wednesday, and the All-Star center fielder is expected to miss the start of the season. His decision to have the operation also sparked a dispute about whether he had received permission from the team, and perhaps whether the surgery was needed. In a statement released Wednesday night, the Mets said Beltran's osteoarthritis worsened during the offseason and he decided to have arthroscopic surgery to clean out the arthritic area of his knee. The team said Beltran is expected to resume baseball activities in 12 weeks, a timetable that likely would keep him out for most of April -- maybe longer.

Injury Report
Knee - Out until at least late April
(Updated - 1/14/10)
Fantasy Analysis
A five-time All-Star, Beltran missed 2 1/2 months last season with a painful bone bruise on his right knee, coinciding with the team's plunge. He returned Sept. 8 and was eased back into the everyday lineup. The Mets said Beltran hadn't felt pain after the season ended or early in his offseason conditioning, but his symptoms "returned to the point where pre-spring training conditioning became too painful." This news comes as a shock to the Fantasy world, but at least it comes well before your league's draft. When healthy, Beltran is a top Fantasy outfielder and power-speed threat, but you can't count on him to help your team until mid-April now. If this procedure -- a relatively minor one -- allows Beltran to slip into the middle rounds on Draft Day, he could be a bargain. But clearly, the injury-prone outfielder comes with some risk. Keep in mind he'll have to get back in playing shape once he recovers from the surgery.
