Padres infield prospect Josh VanMeter underwent surgery Tuesday after suffering a fractured fibula in Low Single-A Fort Wayne's game against Lansing on Monday.

No timetable has been set for VanMeter's return, though the surgery typically requires four months of rehabilitation.

VanMeter, the Padres' fifth-round draft pick in 2013, was placed on the disabled list Tuesday.
