Brewers Exploring Surgery for Smith
According to the Associated Press (via ESPN.com), Smith suffered the injury while pulling off his cleats after pitching in a minor league game on March 24.
"I pulled hard [on the shoe] and it stayed on," Smith said, according to the Associated Press. "My knee just went up and popped. Everyone tells you there is nothing you can do about it, but you still feel like you are letting people down."
Manager Craig Counsell told reporters the reliever will miss "significant time," but a firm timetable isn't available yet since it's yet to be determined if Smith needs surgery.
