Astros' Chris Gittens: Set for knee surgery

Gittens will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The operation will sideline Gittens "for a while," per Astros manager Joe Espada. Gittens is in camp as a non-roster invitee and injured the knee on the first swing he took in Grapefruit League play.
