Chicago White Sox outfielder Austin Slater feared his season might be over after suffering a slight meniscus tear in his right knee. After undergoing surgery and a brief rehab stint in Triple-A, Slater returned to the White Sox lineup much sooner than anticipated. He expressed initial concern over his injury, but a quicker recovery timeline spurred him to work diligently towards rehabilitation. Although he has not been an everyday player in recent years, Slater focuses on regaining his health and self-confidence as he resumes play with the team.
"I think when I initially hurt it, I was like, 'Oh, that's my season.' That was my initial reaction. So pleasantly surprised by the recovery time I would say."
"The longer the absence, the harder sometimes it is to self motivate. So luckily this was a short stint."
