Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge is scheduled to have knee surgery on November 3, the team announced Thursday.
The procedure will address the patella tendinitis in both Inge's knees that bothered him throughout the 2009 season. It will be performed by Dr. Stephen Lemos at the Detroit Medical Center. Inge is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.
In 161 games this past season, Inge hit .230 with a .314 on-base percentage, 27 home runs and 84 runs batted in, and was selected to his first career All- Star team.
