Brooklyn’s Frank Fennelly Out 3 Months with Shoulder Injury
Brooklyn Hitmen shortstop Frank Fennelly will miss the next three months after dislocating his shoulder in today’s game against the New York Saints. The injury occurred during a collision at a base, halting Fennelly’s season just as it was getting underway.
The veteran infielder had struggled early in the season, batting just .111 through three starts. Now, with this injury, Brooklyn will have to look for options to fill the gap in their lineup as Fennelly recovers.
New York Saints’ Emil Gross Sidelined with Concussion
New York Saints catcher Emil Gross was injured during today’s game against Brooklyn when he was hit by a pitch in his first start of the season. Gross suffered a concussion and will be sidelined for at least two weeks.
Gross, who has yet to record an at-bat this year, was forced to exit the game after the hit. The Saints will need to rely on their backup catcher during Gross's absence.
Chippy McGarr of St. Louis Sox Suffers Wrist Injury
In St. Louis’ win over the Columbus Bandits today, third baseman Chippy McGarr was forced to leave the game after injuring his wrist in a collision at a base. McGarr has been diagnosed with wrist tendinitis and will be out for 2 weeks.
McGarr, who had started the season batting .250 through three games, will be missed in the Sox lineup as he recovers from this early-season setback.
