Joe Young breaks wrist, out indefinitely

Joe Young was hit on the wrist by a pitch from Cleveland's Hector Ojeda. Young had to leave the game, and X-Rays revealed a break. He was immediately placed on the disabled list. The HBP happened in the 8th inning of a tie game. Miami lost in the 9th when Bob Belardi served up a grand slam to Ramon Gallia.

After the game Miami held the best record in the league at 56-35, but faces a tough stretch without their best hitter. Young had played 87 games and was hitting .349 with 18 homeruns, 63 RBI, and 69 walks for a .467 On base percentage.

Miami called up Richie Head from AAA Star City, and he will get some of Young's playing time, although manager RJ Duke said that infielders Brandon Cohen, Richie Almanzar, Greg Cardonia, as well as catcher Bud McNamara could also see time at first base.
