Jeremy Affeldt adds to history of unusual injuries

Jeremy Affeldt is getting tired of sheepishly explaining another freak injury.

It happened again Monday. Affeldt twisted his left knee — officially “patellar subluxation” — while playing with his three sons in Loon Lake, near their home in Spokane, Wash.

The Giants put Affeldt on the 15-day disabled list and recalled reliever Mike Broadway from Triple-A Sacramento.

Affeldt returned home for the Giants’ day off because he won’t see his family for the final five weeks of the season. He and the boys were in the water when Affeldt stepped awkwardly off a small platform and heard a pop in his knee.
