Mets' Duda breaks wrist moving furniture

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Lucas Duda broke his right wrist moving furniture and had surgery Monday, the team announced Tuesday.

Duda was hurt in his Southern California home, the team said, adding that he is expected to be ready for spring training.

Duda, 26, batted .239 with 15 homers and 57 RBIs in 401 at-bats this year.

The disappointing season included a midseason demotion to Triple-A Buffalo, where Duda hit .260 with three homers and eight RBI in 25 games. He returned to the majors for the final six week, but his stats remained unimpressive: Duda batted .234 with three homers and 13 RBI in his final 32 games.
