Martin Prado may have just hurt himself

[kaiser]

Rough slide at home scoring the go-ahead run in the 10th. Landed on his hand/arm and slid across it. Came up in pain and pulled from the game. No other details right now.

Sure most by now, but if not its a broken knuckle.

Second baseman Martin Prado(notes) broke the second knuckle on his right pinkie finger while diving into home plate in the Atlanta Braves’ latest win, an injury that will sideline the leadoff hitter for at least a week.

Prado jammed the hand while sliding hard into home plate Friday night during the 10th inning of a 6-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds. X-rays initially were inconclusive. Tests on Saturday found the fracture, which won’t need surgery.

Prado is expected to be sidelined for a week to 10 days. Manager Bobby Cox said the team will take a day or two before deciding whether to put him on the 15-day disabled list.
