Expects to return within six weeks Calhoun said Thursday that his expected recovery timeline from knee surgery was 4-to-6 weeks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Impact Calhoun underwent surgery to address a torn meniscus Wednesday. The timeline implies that he should be able to return sometime in April, though he's still very likely to need at least a brief trip to the injured list. The Diamondbacks have a slew of options that will get at-bats in right field during the rest of spring training, including Tim Locastro, Wyatt Mathieson, Pavin Smith, Trayce Thompson, Josh VanMeter, Daulton Varsho and Andy Young.

Out with torn meniscus Calhoun will undergo a right knee medial meniscectomy Wednesday to address a torn meniscus, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact The 33-year-old has been battling inflammation in his right knee, and after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday that resulted in the torn meniscus being diagnosed, he'll quickly go under the knife. The Diamondbacks have yet to provide an official recovery timetable, but 4-to-6 weeks is a reasonable expectation until we know more. With that in mind, Calhoun likely will be sidelined for Opening Day, though the specifics may remain hazy until the team provides another update on his status.

Needs knee surgery Calhoun will have surgery on his right knee Wednesday, although the team does not yet have a public diagnosis, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Impact He went for an MRI on Tuesday after dealing with right knee inflammation, and the tests obviously returned something that required a procedure. This could range from a season-ender to a cleanup that may allow Calhoun to return sometime this summer.

Diamondbacks’ outfielder Kole Calhoun sent for MRI on inflamed right knee The Diamondbacks are dealing with their first injury of consequence of spring training, a knee issue with outfielder Kole Calhoun.
MARCH 2, 2021 • AZCENTRAL.COM
Sent for MRI on knee Calhoun has been dealing with right knee inflammation since the offseason and went for an MRI on Tuesday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Calhoun still has time to be ready for Opening Day if the MRI reveals nothing serious, but even a shutdown of just a week or two could threaten his readiness for the start of the season, which is now less than a month away. The veteran is coming off a strong season that saw him finish tied for seventh in the league with 16 homers, so losing him would be a blow to the Diamondbacks. Tim Locastro or Josh VanMeter could step into bigger roles if Calhoun's forced to miss time.
