Blue Jay Vernon Wells throws his bat and helmet after striking out. Wells will undergo wrist surgery next week, while teammate Edwin Encarnacion just underwent surgery on his wrist. (Darren Calabrese/Canadian Press)Toronto Blue Jays centre-fielder Vernon Wells is expected to have surgery on his left wrist next week, while third baseman Edwin Encarnacion underwent surgery on his left wrist last week.
Both players should be ready ahead of spring training, the team said Tuesday.
Encarnacion had a large bone spur shaved off his hamate bone Friday. He missed about two months last season with a fracture in his left wrist.
The procedure for Wells will repair some cartilage damage.
He suffered through a miserable year at the plate, hitting .260 with 15 homers and 66 RBIs in 158 games.
