MINNEAPOLIS � Minnesota Twins right-handed starter Kevin Slowey says he will likely miss the rest of the season after having surgery to fix a bone chip in his right wrist.

Slowey told reporters before Monday night�s game against the Chicago White Sox that the operation requires two to four months of rehab and recovery.
Slowey (10-3) says he had a bone chip that was aggravated when he was hit by a line drive during a start last September. He pitched with the injury until July 3, when he left a game after three innings. He went on the disabled list the next day.
