CINCINNATI (AP) – Washington’s Jayson Werth is out indefinitely after another test found that he broke his left wrist two weeks ago.
The outfielder was hit on the left wrist by a pitch from the Padres’ Odrisamer Despaigne on May 16 and has been unable to swing a bat. With the injury still bothering him, he went for a CT scan on Thursday – the team’s day off – and it detected two small fractures.
Manager Matt Williams says there’s no timetable for his return. The bones have to heal before he can resume swinging a bat.
Werth was batting .208 with two homers and 12 RBIs when he got hurt. Williams plans to use several players in right field while he’s gone.
