Notebook: Glaus takes another hit

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus will undergo season-ending surgery next week to repair a nerve in his left foot, the latest blow in an injury-filled season that has also included accusations he received performance-enhancing drugs.

“The surgery is a nerve decompression surgery,” general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. “He’s going to have a consultation later this week, just to kind of get ready for it, then he’s going to have the surgery Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.”

The surgery will be performed in Los Angeles. Glaus will need to rest for about a month afterward but is expected to be healthy in time for spring training.

It has been a difficult month for Glaus, whose name surfaced in a report last week accusing him of receiving performance-enhancing drugs from a Florida pharmacy under investigation for illegally distributing prescription medications. Glaus has declined to comment on the report.

Stadium finales set

Yankee Stadium is set to host its final regular-season game on Sept. 21, 2008, with New York playing Baltimore.

Shea Stadium will hold its regular-season wrap-up a week later, on Sept. 28 against Florida.

The Yankees and Mets recently received schedule drafts for the 2008 season from the commissioner’s office. The Yankees also will host the All-Star game.

Both New York teams are moving into new ballparks in 2009.
