WASHINGTON — House majority whip Steve Scalise said he will undergo surgery Wednesday as part of his recovery from last June’s shooting at a baseball practice.

The Louisiana Republican said Tuesday he’s made tremendous progress recovering from the shooting. He didn’t provide details of the surgery, only that it was planned for about a month.

Scalise said he intends to remain fully engaged in his work as he heals, but gave no specific timeline for his return.

He said: ‘‘I look forward to returning to the Capitol as soon as I can within the coming weeks.’’

Scalise was struck by a bullet in the hip, shattering bone and damaging internal organs. He now often uses a cane when he walks.
