Punto undergoes wrist surgery: Twins 2B Nick Punto underwent minor wrist surgery on Friday, according to MLB.com. Minnesota GM Bill Smith called it a "cleanup" procedure and said Punto will be healthy in time for the start of spring training. "He's expected to be ready to go when position players report [on Feb. 26]."

Fantasy Analysis
Punto again had stretches as a starter in the Twins' annual shuffle of middle infielders last year, though he hardly contributed even when in the lineup. For the second time in three years he hit under .230, his .621 OPS trailing his already pitiful career mark of .647. His ability to steal 15 bases gives him some low-end appeal in AL-only leagues, but otherwise, you don't want him.
