More on the Banuelos Scratch

Written by Greg Fertel | 12 April 2010

I don't have much, but no news really comes out of Tampa so I figured this was worth passing along. I have heard that the injury to Manny Banuelos is not being reported as serious, and that he will be out for a limited timeframe.

I don't have any information on what the injury is, so I'm not going to speculate. Hopefully Banuelos doesn't have any setbacks and makes it back to the Tampa rotation soon.

Update (3:00): Commenter Yankee1010 tells us that, "Patrick at [Pinstripes Plus] said that he heard that it was an appendectomy. I don't think there has been any confirmation though."

If this is the case, I guess it is not an injury per se, but it definitely isn't serious. An appendectomy is definitely better than any type of arm injury. My guess is that we'll see Banuelos sometime in May, if this report turns out to be true.
