Another One Bites the Dust

The Red Sox lose another outfielder as doctors diagnose Cody Ross with a broken foot:

Ross, who fouled a pitch off his foot Friday night, returned to Boston to undergo an MRI exam that revealed a fracture of the navicular bone, according to manager Bobby Valentine. The Red Sox [team stats] aren’t guessing how long Ross will be sidelined, with Valentine explicitly saying they aren’t putting a timeline on his return, although they have experience with navicular fractures. Dustin Pedroia [stats] broke the navicular bone in his foot in June 2010 and eventually required surgery, missing all but three games the remainder of the season.

The Red Sox now have outfielders Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ellsbury, Ryan Kalish, Darnell McDonald, Jason Repko and Ross on the DL. Pretty soon they’ll be bringing up players from rookie league to fill in.
