Joel Carreno will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair broken orbital bones after a line drive struck him in the right eye during a Dominican Winter League game.

Carreno experienced significant swelling but is expected to make a full recovery with no damage to his vision. Barring a setback, he should be ready to roll for spring training.

Joel Carreno was reportedly struck in the head by a line drive Sunday in the Dominican Winter League.

The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but it sounds like Carreno may have suffered damage to his orbital bone and could require surgery. He'll almost certainly miss the remainder of the Winter League season and is questionable to be ready for the start of spring training.

Joel Carreno - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays sent RHP Joel Carreno outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

It's a little surprising Carreno wasn't claimed off waivers given his career 3.48 ERA with 722 strikeouts over 677 innings in the minors. He should get another shot in the big leagues at some point in 2013.

Blue Jays designated RHP Joel Carreno for assignment.

Carreno posted an ugly 6.14 ERA over 22 innings for the Blue Jays in 2012. The 25-year-old boasts a career 3.48 ERA with 722 strikeouts over 677 innings in the minors, though, so he should receive some interest on waivers.
