Rays' Blake Snell Fractured His Toe While Trying to Move a 'Decorative Stand' in His Bathroom

The Rays placed ace Blake Snell on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a fractured toe.

While it's not uncommon for players to suffer injuries during the long season, Snell broke the fourth toe on his right foot because of a rather unusual culprit—a granite decorative stand in his bathroom.

Snell told reporters on Tuesday that he got out of the shower at home on Sunday night and decided to move the stand. Unfortunately, he didn't realize the stand came in pieces.

"It’s like a three-piece set and this pole that comes up like 2 1/2, 3 feet," he said, per the Associated Press.
