Dodgers' 33-year-old rookie John Lindsey will have hand surgery on Wednesday. | ||||||
This is a little bit of a reversal after it seemed he wouldn't need surgery, but Lindsey did break a bone in his hand when he wa hit by a pitch Saturday and it's best that he gets healthy. It's always a fun story when a minor league journeyman finally makes it to the major leagues, but those kinds of players don't make for great fantasy stars. | ||||||

John Lindsey has been shut down for the season because of a broken left hand that he suffered in Saturday's loss to the Diamondbacks. | ||||||
Lindsey will be examined by a hand specialist on Sunday to determine whether he will require surgery. The 33-year-old rookie turned in a .083/.154/.083 batting line over 12 big-league at-bats this season. | ||||||

| Thu Sep 9 2010 | 09:13 | Lindsey to make first MLB start Saturday | ||||
Dodgers manager Joe Torre said that John Lindsey will start at first base on Saturday. | ||||||
It will be the 33-year-old's first start in the big leagues. And a well-deserved one, at that. Lindsey was announced as a pinch-hitter in last night's game against the Padres, but was switched out for Andre Ethier once Luke Gregerson relieved Joe Thatcher. He's waited long enough for his first major league at-bat, so a couple more days probably won't hurt. | ||||||
