VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) -Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Andy LaRoche tore a ligament in his right thumb Friday and will need surgery that could sideline him for eight to 10 weeks.
Nomar Garciaparra, competing with LaRoche for the starting job at third base, was hit by a pitch on his right wrist during the Dodgers’ 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. X-rays were negative and he will be reevaluated on Saturday. He is day to day.
LaRoche was injured while attempting a pickoff play at third when the ball deflected off his thumb. A time and date for the surgery has not been set.
Garciaparra batted .283 with seven home runs last season for the Dodgers. LaRoche hit .226 in 35 games last season. He had one home run.
