TORONTO -- Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells will have surgery next week to repair damaged cartilage in his left wrist.
The team announced Tuesday that Wells is expected to be ready in time for spring training.
Wells, who is entering the third season of a seven-year, $126 million contract extension, hit .260 with 15 home runs and 66 RBIs in 158 games last season.
The Blue Jays also said third baseman Edwin Encarnacion had surgery on Friday to repair a bone spur in his left wrist.
