Ortiz says he probably needs knee surgery

Red Sox slugger David Ortiz yesterday said that surgery will probably be necessary to correct soreness in his right knee, the Boston Herald reports today.

The Herald says that Ortiz is expected to have an MRI on his knee after he returns to Boston from the All-Star Game to determine the cause of his soreness. Ortiz told the newspaper that he believes the issue goes back to last season. He also described the problem as "minor."

The Herald also quoted an ESPN report in which Ortiz speculated that surgery would probably be necessary after this season has ended.
