Tejada Injury

[converge241]

X-rays on Miguel Tejada's left wrist were negative, but the Orioles sent him to the hospital for a CT scan.

They want to make sure there are no hairline fractures. "I feel like everything is fine, but I am worried," Tejada said. "I was real scared when that ball was coming toward my face, so I put up my hands. I think I’ll play tomorrow. If it’s not broken, I’ll play."

He can't swing the bat.

I'm not a fan of these moves, if his wrist is that bad, he should sit out.

Miguel Tejada, who suffered a bruised wrist Wednesday, was pulled for a pinch-runner after bunting into a fielder's choice in the first inning of Thursday's game.

How ridiculous. Tejada's consecutive games streak is worthless if this is what he'll do to extend it. The Orioles knew in advance that this was how it would play out, as they moved Tejada up to the second spot in the order to accomodate him. We're certainly not questioning Tejada's toughness, but if he was too hurt to play, he should have been a man and sat out.
