Brewers already had depth issues at 1st base, but this hurts them even more.
Brewers first baseman Mat Gamel is headed back to Milwaukee to have some tests on his knee by the team physician, the Brewers announced Wednesday. Later in the day, he told his teammates he's headed for surgery.
"Hopefully, the surgery goes well," said Travis Ishikawa (Brewers Blog). "I've been praying for him since it happened that it would be as good a news as possible. Obviously, it wasn't. I'll continue to pray for him that his recovery is 100% and speedy. I don't know if it's the whole season or what not. (A long-term absence) is the way he made it sound."
Still later, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin confirmed to the present media members (including Tom Haudricourt) that Gamel has a torn ACL.
