Montreal Expo first baseman Andres Galarraga will be sidelined for four to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to his left knee.

Galarraga, who was put on the 15-day disabled list May 28, returned to Montreal from Atlanta earlier Saturday after experiencing minor swelling of his knee following a workout Friday.

Galarraga, who was hitting .255 with three home runs and 11 runs batted in, was examined by Expos’ physician, Dr. Larry Couglin, who then performed the surgery.
