Yankees closer Mariano Rivera had surgery today on his right knee to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament and according to the Yankees, the surgery went "as planned." The ACL was repaired but the meniscus did not require any work.
Rivera, 42, tore his ACL in May while shagging fly balls at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
Rivera tweeted this after his surgery:
