Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Rob Segedin will undergo surgery to remove a bone spur from his right wrist, and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Segedin’s procedure will be completed Wednesday.

He was placed on the 10-day disabled list on April 19 with a right big toe sprain. Two weeks later Segedin was said to be completing various workouts at Camelback Ranch but was not nearing a return.

More recently, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the recovery had become “stagnant,” and Segedin’s injury was re-diagnosed as turf toe.

While the 28-year-old is faced with a recovery from wrist surgery suffered while rehabbing, Segedin’s toe is improving.

In his nine games with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, he hit .324/.342/.541 with two doubles, two home runs and five RBI. Segedin went 1-for-4 over two games with the Dodgers. He sustained the toe injury on a check-swing in his lone start.

Over 40 games with the Dodgers last season, Segedin batted .233/.301/.370 with two doubles, one triple, two home runs and 12 RBI. He earned a promotion to the Majors based on a prolific showing with Oklahoma City.

Segedin was named to the 2016 Pacific Coast League All-Star team, though did not participate in the game because he had already joined the Dodgers.
