Chavez injury looks serious
Friday, June 19, 2009 | 12:01 am
A quick post here after coming upstairs from the clubhouse, where Ken Griffey Jr. made a fairly rare postgame appearance after his dramatic home run in the Mariners' 4-3 victory (Griffey typically shuns the spotlight after a big moment, but not this time).
Of interest here is the condition of left fielder Endy Chavez, who injured his right leg in an ugly collision with shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt. An MRI is scheduled for Saturday morning, but the Mariners seemed fairly certain it's a significant injury with ligament damage.
It's a big blow to the Mariners, who will badly miss the speed and athleticism that Chavez gives them. Stay tuned for how the Mariners react roster-wise to this injury.
