Ackley is scheduled to visit a specialist for his ankle, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. An early-September MRI revealed bone spurs in Ackley's left ankle, and although he was able to tough it out over the remainder of the season, he indicated on a couple occasions that he wasn't at full capacity. He had trouble planting and pivoting on the foot, but GM Jack Zduriencik said Tuesday that he doesn't believe surgery is likely.
