  Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Seattle Mariners lefty Cliff Lee underwent surgery last Friday to remove a bone spur in his left foot.

  Lee, who was acquired from Philadelphia in December, is not expected to be ready for workouts when Mariners pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb. 18. He's expected to resume normal baseball activities in no more than three weeks.

  Lee didn't disappoint in his short time in Philadelphia, going 7-4 in 12 starts down the stretch with a 3.39 ERA, and carrying the National League champions in the postseason with a 4-0 record and 1.56 ERA in five starts.

  The 31-year-old lefty had an incredible 2008 season in Cleveland, where he went 22-3 with a league-best 2.54 ERA in 31 starts to win the AL Cy Young Award that year.
