Rockies SS Trevor Story to have thumb surgery, might miss re

Post by Jocephus »

Colorado Rockies rookie shortstop Trevor Story, who leads the National League with 27 home runs, will have surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb and expects to miss the rest of the season, he said Tuesday.

Story was placed on the disabled list Tuesday after he suffered the injury Saturday on a headfirst slide into second base in the fourth inning of the Rockies' game against the New York Mets. After staying in the game, he aggravated the injury when he dove for a ball in the hole.

"Just very disappointing," Story said. "Very frustrating. The timing of it all is the worst part of it."

Headfirst slides are dumb.

Pretty well cinches the ROTY for Seager.

Seager is safe b/c he's not on my fantasy team. I've lost Story, Kershaw, Schwarber and Glen Perkins so far. Not a good year.
