DeRosa has been out since May 9 with an inflamed nerve in the wrist. He went on a minor league rehabilitation stint this month but it bothered him again, forcing him back to a doctor.

The date for the surgery by hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham has not been set.

DeRosa had left wrist surgery following last season but that problem was in a different area of the wrist.

DeRosa, who signed a $12 million, two-year deal with San Francisco last winter, finished with one homer and 10 RBIs in 26 games in his first season with the Giants.
