Grudzielanek to have Knee Surgery

Sports Illustrated is reporting that Mark Grudzielanek injured his left knee before the game yesterday. He's scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery tomorrow and the Royals are saying that no timetable exists regarding his return. I'm guessing that Esteban German will fill in for him, and maybe even start the season at second if Grud isn't able to go. That would leave the Royals in a position of needing to find another utility infielder.
