In the top of the 9th of yesterday's game, Jeff Francoeur made a tremendous catch but in doing so rolled over his thumb/wrist. Francoeur would have a X-ray on his thumb, after the game, that was negative. But over night there was significant swelling and this morning, Francoeur was sent to the hospital for an MRI. Hopefully, it's just a bruised thumb...I like Francoeur a lot, he has a great personality, has rapidly become a clubhouse leader and his bat seems to have welcome the change of location. Hopefully, he's considered part of the core, I'd like to see a line-up including Reyes, Wright, Beltran and Francoeur..."He's getting checked as we speak," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "From what I understand, he has some swelling. He's pretty much day-to-day right now." source Star Ledger
