New York Yankees' Derek Jeter hits a single off of Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher James Shields during the first inning of the first baseball game of a doubleheader on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2011, at Yankee Stadium in New York.

NEW YORK>> Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has had surgery to repair a broken left ankle.

Dr. Robert Anderson operated Saturday in Charlotte, N.C. The Yankees said complete recovery for their 38-year-old captain is expected to take four-to-five months.

Jeter was injured Oct. 13 in the 12th inning of the AL championship series against Detroit while trying to field a grounder. The Tigers went on to sweep the Yankees.
