| Breaking News |  | Sunday, October 9th, 2011: Mosquitos Caldwell Sidelined for 2-3 Weeks
Bob Caldwell at first refused to leave today's Rio de Janeiro-Quito game after he suffered a hyperextended knee while running the bases. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I'm a competitor," the feisty Quito center fielder said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep Caldwell out of action for 2-3 weeks.
Posting a .325 batting average to date, Caldwell has 13 home runs and 79 RBIs.

The Quito Mosquitos will lose the services of starting pitcher Andy Pfaff after he sustained a tender shoulder while throwing a pitch in today's game against the Guayaquil Tigrillos.
