LA Angel 1B Kendry Morales out for the year with a fractured leg
He was leading the team in homeruns before getting hurt. From ESPN-
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Kendry Morales had surgery on his broken left ankle Thursday, and afterward the team said Morales was expected to miss the rest of the season.
Doctors had originally said Morales could begin bearing weight on his left leg within four to six weeks of the surgery and might be able to return in September. The surgery was delayed for 12 days by swelling in the area of the fractured fibula.
Morales broke his leg celebrating his game-winning grand slam May 29. He was batting .290 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs when he was injured.
It was a fluke accident. Now MLB needs a rule to prevent these things from happening again. More beneath the fold.
