An MRI on Tuesday revealed that Manny Machado has a torn medial patellofemoral ligament.
The news is great for the Baltimore Orioles as Machado could be running in six to eight weeks without surgery.
"The MCL is fine, the ACL is fine," trainer Richie Bancells said. "All those major ligaments are fine. This is a smaller ligament."
Machado was injured during Baltimore's game at Tampa Bay. He was running out a single and stepped awkwardly on the inside of the base. He tumbled to the ground and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.
