Angels' Dexter Fowler to Undergo Surgery for Knee Injury Diagnosed as Torn ACL

The Los Angeles Angels announced Sunday the knee injury suffered by outfielder Dexter Fowler during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays was diagnosed as a torn ACL.

Fowler will undergo surgery with a recovery timetable of six to nine months, which likely rules him out for the remainder of the 2021 MLB season.

The Angels acquired the 2016 All-Star in a February trade with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Fowler recorded five hits in 20 at-bats with three runs scored through seven appearances to open the 2021 campaign. He's in the final season of a five-year, $82.
