An MRI revealed fluid and torn cartilage in Andruw Jones' right knee.
After Monday's game, Joe Torre said that Jones would be out until at least Friday due to the injury. Jones painted a more dire picture: "I'm going to give it two days, and if it doesn't get better... we'll go ahead and scope it," said Jones. Arthroscopic surgery would keep Jones out of the lineup until July, making "arthroscopic surgery" a potential MVP candidate for the Dodgers. "Hopefully, I can just get treatment on it, and then probably get (the surgery) done during the offseason," Jones said.

The way things are going, the Dodgers should flat out make Jones have surgery and be ready for the second half. Big Papi had a bad knee and his numbers and team took a dive. Scoping the knee can only help Jones' hitting, right?
