Any idea how bad it is?
Don't want to lose him right now, especially him in the closer role

Cohen just said had to get it xrayed.
I don't have a good feeling about it. I hope I'm wrong...often am.
looked like it hit him pretty damn flush. hurt ME watching the re-play. he's a tough SOB if he comes out unscathed.
The problem s there's not much there but bones, and they aren't very big ones. We may have Rooker Robson Mangum i the outfield for the rest of this run. I hope not, for Reid's sake as much as the team's.
If that winds up the case, the obvious question is who becomes DH? My vote is Collins, but I'm not sure we have anyone else who can play 3B. Alexander is hurt. Maybe Holland or Stovall? I'm guessing Cohen would just DH Stovall, though. Intriguing possibility: Thor Gordon.Quote:

Regardless, he was in pain. Even if it's just a deep bruise it might not be great shape by the weekend.
Yep I broke my hand in high school in the exact same situation. It was right before playoffs so I was able to play 2nd but had to be DH'd for. Lets just hope his isn't broken because it hit him pretty damn solidQuote:

I think it hit him in the left hand. If that is the case, he still might be able to close for us, just wouldn't be able to hit. Certainly wouldn't be ideal, but we wouldn't lose his arm if we needed it.Quote:

Pre-x Ray or post-x Ray?Quote:

Reason I ask is hand would probably be a lot worse today than postgameQuote:

Yep, I think I will wait to hear after we know he has had the x-ray. The fact that we pulled him out of the game and said we were doing an x-ray for me is cause for concern. Maybe its all just precautionary but, if you remember, Robson played some after his hand injury before we realized he indeed had a fracture.Quote:
