The latest stats are that about 20% of all professio0nal players fracture it. There will not be any lasting effects. He'll be playing in April. Injuries are starting but this one I believe is the same type of injury Gordon Beckham suffered

I believe they are factoring in getting him a spring training of sorts into that. It's been phrased as he will be out 4-6 weeks and will join an affiliate in 12 weeks. Still seems long though.

The extra 6 weeks seems long but maybe they going to extend the time before he swings the bat.
