Kiké Hernández said Saturday he underwent surgery for a left elbow injury that bothered him for much of this past season and he will miss next year's World Baseball Classic for his native Puerto Rico.
The free-agent infielder and outfielder did not provide a timetable for his return.
Hernández wrote on Instagram that he'd been playing hurt for about a month with the Los Angeles Dodgers when he went on the injured list with left elbow inflammation July 7. He returned on Aug. 26 but was limited to 93 games.
