With the season entering the stretch run and the MGL race looking to come down to a 3-team race, one of the those 3 teams, the L.A. Spinners, suffer a blow as their veteran right fielder Bob Hernandez sustains a fractured ankle which puts him out of commission for the rest of the season.
Earlier they had lost 25-year old right fielder Brett Prather, a defensive whiz, also for the season with a torn back muscle.
Fortunately for the Spinners they have depth on their roster and 30-year old slugger Rigby Muckenfuss will take over as the starter in right. At this stage of his career though Muckenfuss is a defensive liability at any position.
