Omar Vizquel will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Wednesday and will miss four to six weeks, according to a report from the AP.

"My knee was feeling good," Vizquel said. "I wanted to give it a hard shot in order to make a decision. It didn't work. I felt a little pop when I was running. That's what I wanted to see ? to see if I could sustain the pain, and I couldn't."
