Shortstop Everth Cabrera was placed on the 60-day disabled Monday and will undergo surgery Tuesday afternoon to repair the fracture to the hook of the hamate bone on his left hand.
Cabrera suffered the fracture Sunday while batting on Sunday in Philadelphia. The Padres concluded Cabrera would miss at least two months with the injury in addition to a rehab assignment. The target for his return is around the All-Star break.
A Rule 5 draftee last December, the 22-year-old Cabrera was making his fourth start Sunday. He had two hits in his first three at-bats Sunday and was 4-for-13 on the season.
The Padres are looking outside the organization for a replacement middle infielder.
