The news was that Torey Lovullo, manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, had hoped was not good nor encouraging.
After discovering that Socrates Brito had dislocated the fourth finger of his left hand Wednesday during a game against Team Mexico, Lovullo’s first concern was the health of his outfielder. After determining that Brito will be lost for an indefinite period, Lovullo then switched into recovery mode. That’s where the Diamondbacks’ depth chart will help identify an adequate replacement.
While Brito was on the bubble with Jeremy Hazelbaker, Gregor Blanco, and Reymond Fuentes as a fourth outfielder, plans seem altered.
