Columbus Bandits’ Jack O’Brien Injured, Expected to Miss Up to Three Weeks
Columbus Bandits third baseman Jack O’Brien suffered a strained oblique while running the bases in a game against the St. Louis Sox. The injury is expected to sideline the standout player for up to three weeks, though he has been listed as day-to-day for now.
O’Brien has been a key contributor for the Bandits this season, batting .252 with 1 home run. He has also scored 71 runs and driven in 41. Despite the injury, the team is hopeful for his quick return, as his presence will be missed both at the plate and in the field during this crucial stretch of the season.
