 | Saturday, July 2nd, 2011: Calgary Second Baseman Out
It took the Calgary team doctor a while to realize it, but second baseman Timothy Sanchez won't simply play through a scratched cornea after he got hurt being hit by a pitch in today's Speed-Nighthawks game. At first, it looked like Sanchez might be back as early as tomorrow, but now the prognosis isn't quite so good; he's expected to miss at least 4 weeks. A spokesman for the club described the loss of Sanchez as a blow, but was confident that he'd be back soon.
Thus far in 2011 Sanchez is batting .280 with 10 home runs, 38 RBIs and 47 runs scored.
