Esteury Ruiz Injured Wednesday, Going For Tests
1 year agoOakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz (shoulder) will undergo X-rays and possibly an MRI exam on Thursday after injuring his right shoulder diving back into first base in Wednesday's 12-3 blowout win over the Detroit Tigers. Manager Mark Kotsay said Ruiz felt "something," but wasn't sure if it was a pop. The good news is that Ruiz went 2-for-4 with his league-leading 43rd stolen base of the year, two RBI and a run scored in the game before leaving early. We'll know more on the 24-year-old speedster's status on Thursday, but with only three games left until next week's All-Star break, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if we don't see Ruiz until the start of the second half. And depending on the results of his tests, he could be sidelined for a while.
