TORONTO – In the summer, long after the projected recovery period of 4-to-6 weeks from a minor knee surgery had stretched into months,found himself celebrating the simple act of walking without pain. Up to then, the rehab following the procedure to repair a meniscus tear had been gruelling, tedious and, for the most part, unsuccessful. Small gains were immediately followed by a setback, which made the pain-free strolls feel like progress.
"I have a little bit of excitement and I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself," he says, trying to restrain his inherent optimism. "I’ve learned to never think you’ve got it until you’re actually back out there, have your uniform on and you’re back doing it again. I look forward to that and I can see that coming. That’s nice, because before, I’d never see the light.
The determination and resilience he showed during his five years with the Blue Jays – including major surgeries to his right shoulder and right knee in which he "was given a 50/50 shot to ever play again" – should serve him well in that regard. An October procedure repaired that and he returned to post a .785 OPS in 101 games during the 2016 season, before he suffered a bone bruise to his right knee during the American League Division Series, and then another knee injury during Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.
This spring, Travis appeared in two games before his left knee swelled up, eventually leading to the meniscus surgery from which he was supposed to return in four-to-six weeks. Instead, it began laying the groundwork for his eventual split with the Blue Jays.
