Cardinals' Alex Reyes Suffers Broken-Finger Injury After Punching Wall in Anger

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes will be placed on the injured list because of a self-inflicted injury.

According to the Associated Press (via USA Today), he punched a wall in frustration after a bad outing Thursday night and ended up breaking a pinkie in his non-throwing hand.

General manager Michael Girsch noted the injury will be re-evaluted in three weeks, but the fact that it's not to his pitching hand will allow him to get back on the field more quickly.

Reyes was pitching for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds at the time of the injury, allowing three runs in 2.
