Banged up leftfielder Brett Gardner received a cortisone shot in his right wrist today after an MRI revealed some inflammation but no structural damage. “I couldn’t have picked up a bat today,” said the leftfielder, who is out of the lineup for a second straight game.
Gardner has been experiencing discomfort in the wrist since getting hit by a pitch in the Dodgers series (yes, that long ago), though it started to flare up a bit more in Texas this past weekend. There’s still no timetable for his return (though it’s not expected to be long), and in case you’re wondering, he’s hitting just .229 with a .099 ISO since said hit by pitch. Chances are the two are not mutually exclusive.
