The Cleveland Indians have announced that Jamey Carroll will miss 4-6 weeks with an injured hand.
From Ohio.com:
The Indians’ No. 1 utility player will be out four to six weeks with a fracture of the fifth metacarpal of the left hand, a consequence of being hit on the hand with a pitch by Houston Astros reliever Doug Brocail in Saturday’s exhibition game in Houston.
”Jamey felt like he was OK two days ago,” Indians manager Eric Wedge said. ”He stayed in the game and was able to grip a bat. Yesterday, I saw him in the lobby [of the team hotel], and the hand was still a little blown up, so I knew he probably was going to have to take X-rays. When he did, they saw something.”
Tony Graffanino will take Carroll’s place on the roster.
