Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler underwent surgery on his right patellar tendon on Friday in hopes he will be ready for spring training next year.
Dr. Mike Banffy at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Center in Los Angeles performed what the A's announced was a successful procedure to repair the partial tendon tear as well as removal of scar tissue. Butler also was given a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left patella tendon because of tendonitis.
