Mauer diagnosed with_leg_injury

Post by Gordon Gekko » Thu Mar 22, 2007 8:41 am

Twins catcher Joe Mauer has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left fibula.



Mauer came to the ballpark today complaining of soreness in the leg. An MRI was taken, which revealed the stress reaction.



A stress reaction is considered a precursor to a stress fracture. The Twins say they are optimistic that the condition was diagnosed early enough to keep it from becoming a serious long-term problem.



WTF is with all these injuries!!?!?

Add another to the list - Furcal, sounds like a nasty injury that could land him on the DL for at least the first few weeks of the season.

Here is a tidbit from a report on Furcal -



"Furcal was carted off the field with a trainer holding his ankle in place."



Something about "a trainer holding his ankle in place" doesn't sound all that swell.
