San Diego Padres rookie infielder Logan Forsythe will undergo left knee surgery on Thursday, the team announced.

Padres manager Bud Black had said before the game that it was ''improbable'' that Forsythe would play again this season because his left knee, surgically repaired in the offseason, had continued to bother him.

Forsythe has not played since Friday with an inflamed patellar tendon in his right knee, but Black said he was getting closer to recovering from the injury and playing again.

He hit .213 with no home runs and 12 RBIs in 150 at-bats in three different stints with San Diego after being recalled each time from Triple-A Tucson, including on May 4 when he made his major-league debut.
