Aristides Aquino fractures hamate, Reds recall Max Schrock

The Cincinnati Reds announced that outfielder Aristides Aquino underwent surgery to remove the hamate bone in his left hand after injuring it while hitting in San Francisco. The surgery was performed this morning. He has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Max Schrock was recalled from the Reds alternate site to take his place on the 26-man roster.

The hamate bone injury is rather common in baseball and often happens while swinging a bat. Players tend to return to the field in 4-6 weeks from the injury, but historically we’ve observed that many times the power output tends to be lacking for players recovering from the injury for much longer – usually about a year – before they return to their past power output.
