Farmer underwent successful surgery on his lower lip and bottom teeth Wednesday.

Farmer luckily avoided a fractured jaw after getting hit in the face in the fourth inning of Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox. He's set to have external stitches removed in a week, making a stint on the 10-day injured list all but certain for the 32-year-old utility infielder. Kyle Garlick is a prime candidate to receive a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Farmer as a right-handed bat off the bench.
