Nationals starter Tim Redding is scheduled to have minor surgery on his left foot Friday. The procedure will repair damage to the bone in the joint at the base of the second toe.

Redding is expected to fully recover by the beginning of Spring Training, according to the club.

The surgery will be performed by Nationals medical director Dr. Wiemi Douoguih and foot and ankle specialist Dr. Lew Schon at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore.

In his seventh season in the Major Leagues, and second with the Nationals, Redding -- who is arbitration-eligible -- made a career-high 33 starts, finishing 10-11 with a 4.95 ERA. The 30-year-old right-hander struck out 120 while walking 65 in a career-high 182 innings.

It was a tale of two halves for Redding, who went 7-3 with a 3.85 ERA in the first half of the season, but stumbled to 3-8 with a 6.82 ERA after the All-Star break.
