Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has had successful surgery on his left wrist.
The club confirmed that the 29-year-old Gurriel had the procedure on Thursday.
Gurriel missed the last few weeks of Toronto's regular season as well as the Blue Jays' two-game wild-card loss to the Seattle Mariners with an injured hamstring.
A team spokesman said that the right-handed Gurriel had had issues with his left wrist throughout the season.
It was decided after Toronto's elimination from the post-season on Oct. 8 that Gurriel needed surgery.
He is expected to be ready when spring training begins in March.
Gurriel had a .291 batting average over 121 games this season, hitting five home runs with 52 runs batted in.
