Cora to skip surgery until after season

Alex Cora plans to return from the disabled list on June 2 when he's eligible after serving 15 days, and expects to wait until after the season to undergo surgery, he tells the Daily News.

Cora devised a splint for his right thumb and tested it throwing Tuesday from 70 feet and it was passable. He doesn't think he could be an everyday player with the injury, but he can play with the torn right thumb ligament on a part-time basis, he suggested.

He batted without wearing the splint.
