Melky Cabrera of the Toronto Blue Jays will undergo season-ending surgery next week after fracturing his right pinkie finger Friday night at Fenway Park in Boston.

The left fielder appeared to be injured when he went back into first base in the third inning in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid being picked off by Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez.

Cabrera remained in the game until he led off the sixth.

After fouling a pitch off himself, he was checked by training staff and left the game.

Cabrera got a single in his only official at-bat and scored a run, but Toronto went on to lose 9-8 in 10 innings.

He ends his season with a .301 batting average, 16 home runs and 73 runs batted in.

"I wanted to finish strong and help the team get to the playoffs," Cabrera said.
