Paul Konerko conceded that he might need an additional procedure on his left wrist at some point. |
Konerko had surgery a week ago to dislodge a bone fragment in the wrist.

If it moves to a different spot where it would bother me, they might have to go in. I hope it stays [where it is].'' |

Fri Jun 3 2011 | 19:13 | Paul Konerko has minor wrist procedure |
Paul Konerko had minor surgery on his left wrist Friday to remove a loose fragment. |
It will keep him out of the lineup Friday, but he's expected to be available off the bench later in the game.

Adam Dunn is starting at first base Friday. |
