SDMB League 05-15-2014 Home | | Breaking News | | Wednesday, May 14th, 2014: Placencia Injured, out of Lineup Ronald Placencia of the Seattle Monarchs was injured in today's game against Brooklyn and had to be helped off the field by the trainers. The initial diagnosis is a finger blister and he is expected to be out for up to 1-2 weeks. It happened while Placencia was throwing a pitch. "It hurt a lot, to be honest. I just hope it heals soon and I can get back on the field."
Placencia has a 5-1 season record so far. In 9 starts, he has fanned 68 batters in 54.1 innings with a 2.98 ERA. | | Tuesday, May 13th, 2014: Sternwheelers Quijada Suffers Injury It took the River Cities team doctor a while to realize it, but third baseman Ronald Quijada won't simply play through a fractured eye socket after he got hurt colliding with a player at a base in today's Scorpions-Sternwheelers game. At first, it looked like Quijada might be back as early as tomorrow, but now the prognosis isn't quite so good; he's expected to miss at least 2 months.
So far this season Quijada is batting .302 with 9 home runs, 26 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has 45 hits in 149 at-bats, 23 walks and a .393 OBP.

The Houston left fielder said to reporters in the postgame interview, "It makes it easier if you get a good pitch. The odds are in your favor then, not the pitcher's. I got a bunch of very pretty pitches to hit today and I didn't miss any of them."
S. Banton singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 8th and walked in a run in the 9th.
