Joel Carreno will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair broken orbital bones after a line drive struck him in the right eye during a Dominican Winter League game.

Carreno experienced significant swelling but is expected to make a full recovery with no damage to his vision. Barring a setback, he should be ready to roll for spring training.
