Matt Wieters hurt his non-throwing arm in a "household accident" earlier this offseason, but is expected to be ready for Spring Training.

Wieters injured his left forearm and needed stitches. He has spent his entire Major League career with the Baltimore Orioles, but is a free agent.

Mookie Betts will have to wait until Thursday to find out if he will be named MVP in the American League. But the Red Sox right fielder couldn't put off knee surgery any longer.

Betts hoped his balky right knee would heal with rest. When his symptoms persisted, he elected arthroscopic surgery, Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski told ESPN on Friday.

The procedure was performed Thursday at Massachusetts General Hospital by team orthopedist Dr. Peter Asnis. Betts is expected to be ready for spring training and possibly even the World Baseball Classic if he chooses, the team said.

The Giants have signed right-hander Josh Johnson to a minor league contract with the hopes he can perform after three Tommy John elbow surgeries.

General manager Bobby Evans said Thursday it's still undetermined whether Johnson will be invited to big league camp at spring training -- and Johnson must show he's healthy and can be effective again.

Mets farmhand Tim Tebow departed an Arizona Fall League game Monday with an apparent right knee injury after an awkward fourth-inning slide as he attempted to steal second base.
