ATLANTA -- White Sox outfielder Jon Jay will undergo surgery next week and miss the rest of the season with a right hip injury.
Jay, a 34-year-old journeyman, was sidelined from the start of the season until June 24 with the hip problem. He hit .267 with no homers and nine RBI in 47 games.
"He'd been working, playing through it, managing it," Chicago manager Rick Renteria said Friday. "I think at the end he and all the powers that be within his group decided he wanted to get it fixed, so they did."
Jay will have a procedure to repair a muscle tear in his right hip on Thursday in Philadelphia.
