Wrist Watch
Baseball Digest Daily alerts me that Evan Longoria is going to be resting his wrist for a while:
Just a day after losing two-time All-Star Carl Crawford the Rays were dealt another blow, as the team announced on Monday evening that All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria will be joining Crawford on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 8.
Longoria was hit on his right wrist in the ninth inning of Thursday's loss to the Mariners and although initial X-rays taken after the game were negative, the Rays have now announced that the rookie's wrist is fractured.
Longoria started hitting his stride early in June and stayed hot up until his injury. We'll have to wait to see how long this is going to take to heal. It's a real blow to the Rays offense.
Update: David Oritz is resting his wrist tonight.

Hmm, with Longoria AND Murphy out, who takes the lead in the AL ROTY race?
