Betemit: First, pink eye, and now…

Wilson Betemit is back on the DL with an injury that Joe Girardi, during the game today, said he didn’t think was “that serious”. Running the bases after his double in the 4th, he pulled up lame and was wincing in pain on his way to 2nd.

Via Pete Abe:

Wilson Betemit will be placed on the 15-day disabled list tomorrow. Alberto Gonzalez has been summoned from Scranton.

And about Jonathan Albaladejo, he has a sprain of the “ulnar collateral ligament and a strain of the posterial capsule.” I’m not a doctor or anything, but that doesn’t sound good.

The injuries just keep piling up.

Maybe they’re just getting all of the injuries out of the way early?

I’m not ready to throw in the towel at 4.5 games back just yet.

Stinks for Betemit, he looked to be in a bit of a groove at the plate.

I agree with you, JP, no need to throw in the towel. Last year’s string of injuries was a bit extensive as well.

So long as when August gets here they’re all healthy.

here’s something that sucks–the UCL is the Tommy John ligament
