| Thursday, April 22nd, 2010: Young Will Miss 2-3 Months
Minnesota fans will be disappointed to learn that Delmon Young developed a fractured foot while running the bases in today's game. After the doctor informed the Minnesota Twins manager that Young was expected to miss 2-3 months, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the right fielder could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
Young is presently hitting at a .311 pace with 1 home run, 9 RBIs and has scored 10 times.
