Detroit Tigers slugger Victor Martinez tore the medial meniscus in his left knee during workouts, the team announced Thursday.
 
Dr. James Andrews is scheduled to perform surgery Tuesday to repair the injury.
Martinez will make $14 million this season after signing a new four-year, $68 million contract this offseason with the Tigers.
The 36-year-old, switch-hitting designated hitter batted .335 with 32 home runs and 103 RBIs in 2014 in helping Detroit to its fourth straight AL Central title. He finished second to Los Angeles Angels phenom Mike Trout in the AL MVP voting.
This is the second time Martinez has suffered a serious offseason knee injury as a Tiger. In 2012, he tore his left ACL in offseason conditioning and missed that entire season. Besides having surgery to repair that injury, he also underwent a microfracture procedure on the same knee earlier that year.

Isn't recovery time like 6-8 weeks? This could be horrible if Miggy's not ready for the season either.

No timetable yet. I'd say he misses a month at most -- not good though. Horrible news for Detroit.

My friend told me at work, and he thought it was a season ending injury and that is what he told me. I damn near started crying until I looked it up lol.
 
Hopefully he takes his time and comes back 100%. Gonna need him playing at the top of his game. 
At least it happened in the off-season.
