| Breaking News |  | Sunday, September 25th, 2011: Portland's Guerrera Out 1-2 Weeks
Portland fans will be disappointed to learn that Tito Guerrera developed a damaged meniscus while running the bases in today's game. After the doctor informed the Portland Meteors manager that Guerrera was expected to miss 1-2 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the second baseman could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
In 2011 Guerrera is hitting .260 with 147 hits, 10 home runs, 73 RBIs, .357 OBP and has scored 79 runs.
