"Apparently, no specific new malady is suspected, but Grady Sizemore is returning to the doctor for the umpteenth time this season.

''Grady was still experiencing some right knee symptoms when he came back from [sports] hernia surgery,'' Indians head trainer Lonnie Soloff said Tuesday. ''He is scheduled for a follow-up visit with Dr. [Richard] Steadman in Vail [Colo.]. We want to determine the best course of action for him in the offseason.''

Sizemore has incurred two disabling injuries this year. He suffered a deep bone bruise in his right knee sliding into a base May 10 and was placed on the disabled list for two weeks on May 16."
