Torii Hunter underwent successful surgery on Monday afternoon to repair a sports hernia on his right side.

"Whatever was wrong in there, it's fixed now," Hunter said soon after the procedure. "It already feels great. I'll have six to eight weeks of rehab, starting with some light bike work, cardio and gradually picking up to where I'll be able to work out in mid-January." He's expected to be ready for baseball activities before the start of spring training.
