Matsui Fractures Wrist

[Misfit]

As reported during the Red Sox/Yankees game on NESN. Matsui will have surgery on Friday, and he's going to be out for awhile. No time-table set for his return but its likely going to be months.

I'm guessing 6-8 weeks. Ugly play. I hate to see guys get hurt like that, even if they are Yankees.

ESPNews is saying three months.

Wow. He really rolled his wrist over. I'm guessing we'll get a better idea after his surgery tomorrow.

Re: Matsui Fractures Wrist

Given the choice between Matsui and Carlos Lee in my fantasy league, I chose Matsui because he never misses games.

Yeah, that has worked out really well so far.

My teams are falling apart right in front of my eyes.

I hope nothing happens to Albert Pujols or I'm done in my leagues.

Re: Matsui Fractures Wrist

Matsui's injury looked similar to the wrist injury Ken Griffey Jr. suffered back in 1995 (of course instead of hitting the wall Matsui came down really hard on the ground). If thats the case than best case scenerio is 3 months.

Looks like it's time for Cashman to start working the phones.

Rumor is either Torri Hunter or Alfonso Soriano will be wearing pinstripes in the near future.

Re: Matsui Fractures Wrist

Torre said this morning that Matsui's initial return date is Sept. 1st.

Re: Matsui Fractures Wrist

Sucks to see this happen to any ballplayer. Wrist injuries are pretty serious. This could potentially be an injury that tips the scales in the AL East with the 3 team dogfight that appears to be going on.

Re: Matsui Fractures Wrist

Hopefully the guy can bounce back, but its unlikely he'll be the same old Matsui when he returns in August/September. Remeber how Nomar looked when he missed most of the 2001 season with a broken wrist? For a hitter, its definitly one of the worst injuries one can have.

Lee was having a superior season to this point as well...

Between this and Sheff I think we're in deep ****. Bernie, Crosby and Damon may be the worst defensive outfield in the history of baseball.

Also, ESPN reported this is the first position-player injury that the Yanks have had that's been more than two weeks since Tim Raines in 1996. However, that's BS because of Jeter's shoulder injury in Toronto.
