“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” No, chicken little isn’t on in the background, that’s just the negative nancy portion of the San Francisco Giants fanbase calling the season over before it began.
Madison Bumgarner was caught in the hand by a line-drive come-backer off the bat of Kansas City Royals second baseman, Whit Merrifield. Bumgarner left the game after it happened.
The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly tweeted out that Bumgarner had a fractured hand.
Being the M.D. that I am, I decided to consult the google machine on how long it takes for a fractured hand to heal.
