Mets' Jose Quintana to Undergo Rib Surgery, Misses 3 Months.
New York Mets starting pitcher Jose Quintana will undergo bone graft surgery to repair a stress fracture in his rib and will not return to the Majors until at least July. The left-hander has a benign lesion on his rib, which became the primary factor behind his decision to pursue surgery instead of a more conservative route. Quintana's exact return date will depend upon how quickly he can resume physical activity, and eventually baseball activities, following his operation.
