Santana, Perez getting surgery Tuesday

August

The New York Mets today announced that left-handed pitchers Johan Santana and Oliver Perez will each undergo surgery tomorrow at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.

Santana will have bone chips removed from his left elbow; Perez will have scar tissue removed from the patella tendon of his left knee. Both procedures will be performed by Mets Medical Director Dr. David Altchek and Mets Team Physician Dr. Struan Coleman.

Here’s hoping everything goes as planned so they can begin their rehab right away.
