Injury Update

Adam Wainwright sprained a finger and will miss two weeks on the disabled list. As the Cardinals best starter, it's a tough loss, but he'll probably miss just two starts.

Jerry Hairston, Jr. broke a finger, and will probably be out a month. He's the third Reds shortstop to go on the DL, joining Alex Gonzalez and Jeff Keppinger.

The Mets place Ryan Church on the DL due to his concussion. Let's hope this doesn't turn into another Mike Matheny situation.

Finally, Rickie Weeks's sprained knee will give him two weeks off. Weeks isn't hitting, although he is drawing enough walks to have an OBA in the low .300s. Not great, not terrible. He's playing poorly enough, however, for someone to step in and try to take his job. Hernan Iribarren has a career .378 minor league OBA, although that has come down as he rose through the Brewers system.
