Right-hander Luke Farrell underwent surgery Wednesday and will not resume baseball activities for two or three weeks, or whenever the wires holding his broken jaw shut are removed.
A local specialist also inserted a plate on the jaw, which was struck Saturday by a line drive in a game against the San Francisco Giants. Farrell was taken to the hospital across the street from Scottsdale Stadium, where x-rays and a CT scan revealed a non-displaced fracture.
The 26-year-old remains in the concussion protocol.
“He’s in good spirits,” assistant general manager Shiraz Rehman said.
