DENVER -- Rockies catcher Michael McKenry squeezed out everything his body had on his final hit of 2015, a game-breaking, three-run double in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Padres. Little did he know he sprinted the bases on a right knee with detached lower cartilage, torn upper cartilage and, if that weren't enough, a cyst that had ruptured.
The Rockies announced Wednesday that McKenry would undergo season-ending surgery performed by Rockies medical director Dr. Thomas J. Noonan on Monday. McKenry has dealt with pain for about eight weeks, and the knee worsened after the All-Star break.
