Tim Tebow’s dreadful season just got worse.

The Heisman winner turned minor league outfielder has been placed on the Triple-A Syracuse Mets’ injured list after suffering a cut on his left hand — which required eight stitches — while making a play in the field Sunday in Toledo. It is unclear how long Tebow will be out.

Tebow, in the midst of his third season professional baseball season, appeared in the Eastern League All-Star Game last year while playing for Double-A Binghamton, but the former quarterback’s hopes of reaching the majors were crushed when he broke a bone in his right hand.
