Jesus Montero fractured the middle finger on his right hand in a game last night. Brian Cashman has stated that he will be out 4-6 weeks. He will miss the remainder of the minor-league season.
According to RAB, Montero left the game in the middle of the third ining after being crossed up and getting hit on the hand with a pitch.
Montero was having a terrific season. With both Tampa and Trenton, he combines for these numbers: .337AVG 45R 17HR 70RBI .389OBP .562SLG .951OPS.
This is definitely not the news you would like to hear, but it could have been worse.

Damn shame. This dude will pick up where he left off next year though. He can flat out rake.
Dang, that sucks so bad. He is going to be a player for sure. Can’t wait to see him in the bigs
