Indians | Perez to undergo left ankle surgery Wednesday
Updating previous reports, Cleveland Indians RP Chris Perez (ankle) will undergo minor left ankle surgery Wednesday, Oct. 7, to remove an extra bone that has formed in the back of his left ankle and affected his conditioning this year, according to MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince. The bone is known as an 'os trigonum,' and is present in a small portion of the population. 'It doesn't really affect me at all on the field,' Perez said. 'It's more off-the-field stuff - running, weightlifting, stuff like that. It's not serious. It's like two weeks of keeping off of it (after surgery), and then another two or three weeks of rehabbing, and I should be good to start up again.' The surgery will be performed by Dr. James Sferra at the Cleveland Clinic.
