Montero hurt in Trenton loss

Update (1:10am): No word on the extent of Montero’s injury, but he was taken to the hospital for x-rays after leaving the game. Mike Ashmore reports that PJ Pilittere is on his way to Trenton, indicating that Montero may be out for a while. There are only 35 games left in Trenton’s season, so we may have since the last of Mr. Montero in 2009.

Brett Marshall had/will have Tommy John surgery according to his Facebook page. If lucky, he’ll get a handful of innings late next year and be ready to go in 2011. (h/t TYU)
