Down on the Farm

Eric Duncan has a bruised left hand (hat tip to Fabian). It’s supposedly no biggie, but it’s keeping him out of action for now. Still dunno why Austin Jackson is MIA.

Update: As loyal reader JP pointed out in the comments, Austin Jackson has been placed on the DL with a  “lower body injury.” The vagueness worries me (torn MCL? sprained hammy? hip pointer? ruptured scrotum? Okay, that last one was bad…).
