OAKLAND -- Right-hander Ricky Nolasco underwent successful surgery on his right ankle Monday during the All-Star break, Twins general manager Terry Ryan said Friday.
Nolasco, out since June 1 with a right ankle impingement and moved to the 60-day DL on July 8, had a bone fragment removed from his ankle. The operation was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C. Nolasco is rehabbing with Twins assistant athletic trainer and rehab coordinator Lanning Tucker and will be fitted with a walking boot soon.
