Out 6-8 weeks.

Injured on a headfirst slide at home, tagging from 3rd base on a foul popup to the third baseman... I'm guessing the 3rd base coach will catch some heat.

Hamilton out with a broken arm. Sounds like a strange break. High on the arm, near the shoulder and only picked up by MRI not the initial x-rays.

I broke my arm up there in a skiing accident. It can't be put in a cast. You can only baby it in a sling till it heals.
