Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Corey Hart has elected to have surgery on his injured right knee, according to a report from CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler.

Hart had initially delayed getting the surgery to get a second opinion on the knee, which doctors said had a torn meniscus and would require surgery and three to four months recovery time. According to Knobler, the second diagnosis was similar to the first, and Hart underwent the procedure on his knee Friday morning.
