George White out for full season

NEW YORK (A) - New York (A)'s third baseman George
White suffered a season ending injury when he was
struck by a pitch from Seattle's Josh
Constantino. He collapsed in pain and was helped
off the field. Broken Wrist was the diagnosis after
x-rays were taken in a near by hospital. The message
shocked team mates and team officials. This year White
drove in 24 and scored 15 runs while batting .297 with
10 longballs. He's 8th in the American League in RBIs
and 3rd in homeruns!

('near by' should be 'nearby', and 'team mates' should be 'teammates')
