It's Surgery Day

Eduardo Rodriguez and Hanley Ramirez both had surgery today.

Rodriguez underwent "right knee patellofemoral ligament reconstruction" today, according to Tim Britton of the Providence Journal. Rodriguez is not expected to return to pitching for six months - which would be mid-April 2018. So we will likely not see him on a major league mound until after the All-Star Break.

Surgery done perfect now is time to recovery... come back strong and finally pitch at 100% show time 👏👏👊👊💪💪🙏🙏#letgo2018 #52 #redsoxnation pic.twitter.com/8pr6HxSRSU

Ramirez tweeted that he "went in for left shoulder surgery today".

The Red Sox press release mentioned "left shoulder arthoscopy and debridement" with respect to Ramirez. Webmd.com (via WEEI) states that shoulder debridement "involves removing loose fragments of tendon, thickened bursa, and other debris from around the shoulder joint. By clearing damaged tissue from the region of the shoulder joint, it helps the doctor to see the extent of the injury and determine whether you need more surgery."

Also: Robby Scott had left elbow surgery last Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.
