Hip, wrist surgeries for Johnson

SEATTLE -- The Mariners say catcher Rob Johnson has a series of offseason surgeries ahead.

He's scheduled to have surgery Friday on his left hip at Vail, Colo., and have the same procedure three weeks later on his right hip.

Following three or four weeks of rehab he'll have surgery in Seattle on his left wrist.

The Mariners expect the 27-year-old Johnson will be recovered for spring training.
