Andrew Benintendi will officially go under the knife on Tuesday, but Aaron Boone does not believe it will necessarily end his season.

After consulting with doctors on Monday, the Yankees finalized that Benintendi will have surgery on Tuesday to address a broken hook of the hamate bone in his right wrist.

But Boone, who said he had the “exact surgery” in 2001 and returned to games in a month, is holding out the same hope for Benintendi.

“Everyone’s different, every surgery heals a little bit different,” Boone said after a 5-2 win over the Twins in The Bronx on Monday. “I think the possibility of him returning is still in play. You just never know how surgery and the healing goes.”
