Alex Gonzalez is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery Thursday to repair his torn right ACL.

The procedure will be performed by Dr. William Raasch in Milwaukee. Gonzalez, 35, batted .259/.326/.457 with four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances this year for the Brewers. He will become a free agent five days after the conclusion of the 2012 World Series.

Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash confirmed Monday that Alex Gonzalez (knee) is out for the rest of the season.

Gonzalez has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to undergo surgery in about a week. The 35-year-old batted .259/.326/.457 with four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances for the Brewers this season. Cesar Izturis is likely to fill in at shortstop unless the Brewers can find someone better.

An MRI taken Monday on the right knee of Brewers shortstop Alex Gonzalez revealed a torn ACL.

Gonzalez suffered the injury Saturday while sliding into second base. He will undergo a week of treatment before considering surgery. It's quite possible that the veteran shortstop will miss the rest of the 2012 season. Left only with Cesar Izturis to fill in, Brewers management may seek an early trade.

Brewers placed SS Alex Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list with a right knee injury.

Gonzalez suffered the knee injury Saturday while sliding into second base on a stolen base attempt. The Brewers are waiting until the swelling subsides to put him through an MRI but are already resigned to the fact that he's going to be out a while. Carlos Gomez (hamstring strain) was also placed on the disabled list Saturday. Look for Cesar Izturis to handle starting shortstop duties.

Alex Gonzalez suffered a right knee injury sliding into second base on a steal attempt in Saturday's game.

He's heading for an MRI of the knee, with Brewers officials admitting that it doesn't sound good. Given the injuries to Mat Gamel, Gonzalez and Carlos Gomez this week alone, expect the Brewers to recall reinforcements from Triple-A before Sunday's game.

Alex Gonzalez was removed from Saturday's game in the second inning after injuring his right ankle sliding into second base.

No word yet on the extent or severity of the injury, but it didn't look promising. The Brewers already had to deal with the loss of Mat Gamel due to an ACL injury this week, if Gonzalez is out for any serious length of time it would be another crushing blow. Cesar Izturis came in to pinch run for Gonzalez, and would likely see the majority of the time at shortstop in Gonzalez' absence. We'll keep you updated as soon as more is known on this situation.

Alex Gonzalez had a great night on Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in the Brewers 9-5 win over the Rockies.

The first inning long ball was Gonzalez' lone hit of the night, finishing 1-for-4, but it was more than enough to lead the Brewers to victory. He's only hitting .235 on the young season, but does provide a powerful bat at the bottom of the Brewers lineup.

The offseason acquisition is now batting .405 with three homers and a 1.159 OPS this spring. It's good to see, sure, but we have plenty of evidence to suggest Gonzalez will be a streaky hitter, at best, this season. He's the owner of a career .247/.291/.399 batting line.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Alex Gonzalez will make $4 million with the Brewers next season while his contract includes a $4.25 million vesting option for 2013.

The option vests if he reaches 525 plate appearances, which he has done in each of the last two seasons. The 34-shortstop year-old earned $2.5 million in 2011 while batting .241/.270/.372 with 15 home runs and 56 RBI over 593 plate appearances. While he's essentially a wash offensively with Yuniesky Betancourt, he is a major upgrade from a defensive standpoint.

The financial terms of the contract have not yet been revealed. Gonzalez, 34, batted .241/.270/.372 with 15 home runs and 56 RBI over 593 plate appearances this past season for the Braves and will take over as Milwaukee's starting shortstop in 2012. He should remain a decent fantasy option.
