DETROIT(AP) -- Detroit Tigers All-Star third baseman Brandon Inge
has undergone surgery on both knees.

The team said Wednesday the procedure at the Detroit Medical
Center addressed chronic patellar tendinitis that plagued Inge
last season. The procedure on Tuesday involved the repair of the
patellar tendon in both knees.

Inge is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in
February. The 32-year-old native of Lynchburg, Va., hit .230
with 27 home runs and 84 RBIs in 161 games.
