Myers to undergo wrist surgery, miss 8 weeks

OAKLAND -- Padres outfielder Wil Myers will undergo surgery to remove bone spurs in his left wrist and will be out about eight weeks.

Myers missed 28 games with left wrist tendonitis and was reinstated from the disabled list last Thursday. He played three days before returning to the DL.

Myers sought a second opinion and will have the surgery on Thursday.

"This kid is special. This will be a big blow," Padres interim manager Pat Murphy said before Wednesday's game against the Athletics. "Everybody will have to step up."

Murphy was at Triple-A El Paso last week when Myers was rehabbing there.
