Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler underwent surgery on the patellar tendon in his right knee on Friday and is expected to be ready for spring training.

Butler had a procedure done to repair a partial tendon tear and remove chronic scar tissue. The surgery was performed in Los Angeles.

The 25-year-old Butler played in 152 games this season despite the knee issue. He batted .234 with 21 homers and notched career highs of 63 RBIs, 83 runs, 30 doubles and 22 steals.

Butler also was the club's Roberto Clemente Award nominee for his community service work. The 2025 season was the team's first in West Sacramento, Calif., ahead of a scheduled move to Las Vegas for the 2028 campaign.

Butler is part of a young core group the A's have put together. He signed a seven-year, $65.5 million deal last March.

In 319 games over two-plus seasons, Butler is batting .242 with 47 homers, 130 RBIs and 40 steals with the A's.
