Tony Massarotti of the Boston Herald types faster than me and got this out first … and had more info than I did. Reports from Boston are that Ortiz’s wrist injury is far more serious than originally thought. Images showed a torn ligament and will be casted. Early word is that he’ll miss at least a month and that surgery is “50/50″ at this stage. Rest could help or could do nothing. If you want to see a Red Sox fan throw himself off a roof, remind him that this could be a similar situation to Nomar Garciaparra’s back in 2001. More in tomorrow’s UTK.
There’s also been reports that Jake Westbrook is injured and may be headed to the DL. As yet, I haven’t received confirmation of what I’m told is an elbow injury. (Update: It’s confirmed at MLB.com - elbow inflammation.) Again, more tomorrow.
