CHARLOTTE--New York Yankees star Derek Jeter had surgery in Charlotte on Saturday.

Dr. Robert Anderson operated on the shortstop to repair a broken ankle.

The 38-year-old team captain broke his ankle in the 12th inning of the American League championship series opener while trying to field a ground ball.

Team officials said Jeter will need four to five months to completely recover.

Dr. Anderson is a team physician for the Carolina Panthers and consults with a number of collegiate and professional teams.
