Victorino's Finger Isn't Broken
3rd November, 2009 - 9:03 am
Philadelphia Inquirer - Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino was hit on the hand with a pitch on Monday night, but says that he didn't break any bones.

"Two thumbs up - no fracture," Victorino told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

He took a fastball to the hand from Yankees starter A.J. Burnett on a bunt attempt in the first inning. Victorino had an X-ray during the game.

"Shane got hit on the finger," said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. "As the game went on, the finger kept swelling. It was bruised. And it started getting bigger. He couldn't grip the ball, and he also couldn't grip the bat."

Victorino was upset when Manuel took him out of the game in the late innings. [READ]
