PrintJared Mitchell tore the tendon on the inside of his left ankle during Friday's 10-7 victory over the Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium after running into the left-field wall to make a catch. He will have surgery next week, and his recovery time will be set at that point.
That spectacular catch took place on a ball hit by Juan Rivera for the first out of the sixth inning after Mitchell had entered the game as a defensive replacement.
"Very, very bad," said manager Ozzie Guillen of the injury. "Hopefully, it's not the worst thing about it. He has to use his speed and everything. It's a shame. He [was having] a good Spring Training.

How does this affect him as a prospect?

Probably not
But I hate to hear someone injure themselves on a spectacular play during an exhibition game.
i think anything below the majors is, at best, a glorified exhibition.
so that’s why it wouldn’t matter to me. if it’s a major league player, perhaps different.
other things that are alskor faves
Tyler Matzek
Jacoby Ellsbury
JD Sussman
I put Jacob ahead on my top 100, but its a dead heat!
I’m trying to avoid making jokes of the “So and so player on my most disliked team is awesome!” variety, as they’re essentially wishing someone gets hurt.
