Carlos Santana injured

Fouled a ball of his left leg and immediately collapsed to the ground. He had to be helped off the field by his teammates and is obviously out of the game. No word yet on how severe it is. Hopefully it's just a bruise of something that will only keep him out of action for a short period of time.

It gets even tougher being an Indians fan. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

selfishly

I own Santana and Jacob Turner in my keeper league, and it’s been a bad 12 hours.

Don't worry so much about Turner

Injury isn’t supposed to be serious.

Any updates on Casey Crosby?

The last I heard was a bone bruise, but that was about a week ago.

Unfortunately for Crosby, his season at Lakeland hasn’t gotten started quite yet — a bone bruise was discovered in his reconstructed left elbow just before his first start about two weeks ago. He is projected to return to mound in about three weeks.

You ever hit a ball off your shin (I'm assuming he didn't foul it off his thigh)?

It’s incredibly painful. I don’t care if you’re the hulk, when hit in the shin with something that fast, one can’t help but morph into a 6 year old girl. I’m hoping he’ll be fine. However, if he’s not, then perhaps we need to finally accept Dewey as a witch.

There's some kind of nerve on the front of the shin which is really easy to trigger

and incredibly painful. Happens a lot in soccer games.

[Of course, so does people faking that injury to draw a foul call…]
