Clay Buchholz Injury: Updates on Red Sox Star's Knee and Recovery

The Boston Red Six finished up their season on Sunday, falling to the New York Yankees by a score of 9-5, and according to Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com, pitcher Clay Buchholz will be on the mend immediately:

Tim Britton of the Providence Journal spoke to a member of the team that called the procedure "relatively routine":

"

Buchholz will have a procedure done on his right meniscus tomorrow. Red Sox call it “relatively routine.”

General manager Ben Cherington added further perspective, via ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes:

Buchholz, 30, started 28 games, earning an 8-11 record with a 5.34 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 2014. The Red Sox will surely be hoping this procedure on his knee will allow him enough recovery time to find his form once again next season.
