[新聞] Longoria on DL with fractured wrist

[subcrew02 (Te Extrano ``)]

Just a day after losing two-time All-Star Carl Crawford the Rays were dealt
another blow, as the team announced on Monday evening that All-Star third
baseman Evan Longoria will be joining Crawford on the 15-day disabled list,
retroactive to Aug. 8.
Longoria was hit on his right wrist in the ninth inning of Thursday's loss to
the Mariners and although initial X-rays taken after the game were negative,
the Rays have now announced that the rookie's wrist is fractured.

The 22-year-old Longoria has not played since Thursday, but reported on
Saturday that his right wrist felt "probably at least 50 percent better" than
it had initially.

"By the time we start the Oakland series I think I'll be ready to go,"
Longoria told reporters prior to Saturday night's game. "I would like to
think I could play [on Sunday]. But if it's still lingering a little bit, I'm
not going to push it."

For the Rays, Longoria's new prognosis couldn't have come at a worse time.

The team is struggling to juggle several key injuries including the
day-to-day status of shortstop Jason Bartlett -- who was injured trying to
bunt on Aug. 3 -- and Crawford, who has been tentatively diagnosed with a
displaced tendon of his right middle finger.

Longoria is the club leader in home runs (22) and RBIs (71) and has been a
stabilizing presence at third base. Crawford was hitting .273 with eight home
runs and 57 RBIs and was in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak before he
was injured trying to check his swing in the 10th inning of Saturday night's
game.

Crawford was scheduled to be evaluated by hand specialist, Dr. Doug Carlan on
Monday afternoon, and although the result of his visit is unknown, the Rays
are expecting to be without the speedy outfielder for a significant amount of
time.

While the recent activation of outfielder Rocco Baldelli will give the Rays
lineup a key right-handed bat, Baldelli is still battling a mitochondrial
disorder (chronic fatigue) and the team has been hesitant in using the
26-year-old for anything other than short bursts.

With the loss of Longoria, the Rays are likely to hand the third base reins
to Willy Aybar, who has started the team's last three games. To help bolster
the outfield, Justin Ruggiano was recalled from Triple-A Durham to assume
Longoria's spot on the 25-man roster.

Ruggiano is hitting .315 with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs for the Bulls, and
will be serving his third Major-League stint with the Rays this season.
