Chicago, IL -- (Sports Network) - Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin will undergo surgery on his fractured right wrist on Monday that will sideline him for at least two-to-three weeks.

The surgery will take place at Rush University Medical Center, and the American League MVP candidate will have the wrist re-evaluated down the road to determine the healing progress.

Quentin was a late scratch Tuesday after injuring the wrist Monday in Cleveland. During the ninth inning, Quentin fouled off a pitch from Cliff Lee. In frustration, Quentin punched his bat with his right hand, causing the fracture.

The 26-year-old leads the AL in home runs with 36, and is batting .287 with 100 runs batted in and 96 runs scored through 130 games.
