The game yesterday started auspiciously for LaMonte Wade Jr.; he scorched a double in the first inning and scored on two subsequent groundouts. But on the second of those groundouts, which allowed him to advance home from third, he reportedly felt pain in his knee and was taken out of the game shortly after.
He underwent an MRI, which revealed inflammation and a bone bruise, which is a less severe form of a fracture. This injury will cause him to rest for at least the next 10 days before being re-evaluated.
Obviously, this will cause him to miss Opening Day.
