JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -Florida Marlins utility player Alfredo Amezaga will be out four to six weeks because of a sprained left knee.
The Marlins don’t know how Amezaga sustained the injury. He complained of knee stiffness after playing nine innings Sunday for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic.
Amezaga returned to South Florida, and the injury was diagnosed Wednesday in Miami by Dr. Lee Kaplan.
Amezaga, who signed a $1.3 million contract in January, is the team’s most versatile player. He played 79 games in center field last year, 19 at shortstop, 15 at third base and 10 at second.
He’ll wear a protective cast for two weeks before resuming activity.
