Mets' Francoeur has surgery on hand
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mets right fielder Jeff Francoeur has undergone thumb surgery and is expected to be ready for spring training.
The Mets said the operation on Francoeur's torn ligament in his left thumb took place in Atlanta on Monday.
The former Atlanta Brave Francoeur was injured while making a diving catch against Philadelphia on July 23. That was the game in which he lined to second baseman Eric Bruntlett for the second game-ending unassisted triple play in major league history.
The Mets obtained Francoeur on July 10 from Atlanta for Ryan Church. He hit .311 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs for the Mets. Overall, he hit .280 with 15 homers and 76 RBIs.
