Health: Blood, Hamstrings and Stiff Necks
Carlos Delgado left the game after being cut on the elbow with the barrel-end of a broken bat, which hit him as he was taking a lead from third base. Delgado received four stitches in his right forearm, according to the team.
Delgado told reporters that he expects to be sidelined for at least a few days.
Ramon Castro left yesterday’s game after tweaking the same right hamstring that had kept him out of action the previous week.
Castro told reporters that he didn’t pull ‘nothing,’ and that the hamstring stopped hurting as soon as he stopped running.
He is scheduled to have an MRI today.
Over the weekend, Willie Randolph told reporters that Brian Schneider might not play until Wednesday. Schneider has also been bothered by a tight hamstring.
Randolph also suggested to reporters that Jose Valentin could start the season on the disabled list or in Triple-A.
