New York Mets pitcher José Quintana will undergo bone graft surgery after a benign lesion was found on his rib, general manager Billy Eppler told reporters Tuesday.

Quintana was initially shut down after suffering a stress fracture in his rib during spring training. A lesion was found after an examination of his rib, but a biopsy was negative.

The left-hander is expected to be out until at least July.
