Jason Giambi Has a Torn Ligament in His Wrist
Jason Giambi's wrist has been bothering him for a while, to the point where he got his third cortisone injection this week for the pain. As it turns out the source of the pain is not just tendinitis, but also a small tear in a ligament in his wrist. It's so bad that it might necessitate surgury in the off-season. Giambi will sit out this weekend's series with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and hopefully the rest will go his wrist some good. I don't think this bodes well regardles of how much rest he gets this weekend for Giambi's ability to put up big power numbers during the post-season. There's no telling how productive he'll be able to be period.
Presumably Gary Sheffield is going to make some starts at first base this weekend. Suddenly the question of how well he's going to be able to play first, as well as whether he's going to be able to be as productive as he was before his injury, looms large.
