A CT scan on Thursday revealed two small fractures in Jayson Werth’s left wrist, and the Washington Nationals’ left fielder is expected to miss at least two months, according to multiple reports.
Werth visited orthopedic surgeon and wrist specialist Richard Berger at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota on Thursday. The 36-year-old has been on the 15-day disabled list since May 19 with what the team called a “left wrist contusion.”
MLB.com was first to report the severity of Werth’s injury and timetable for his return.
Werth has been out since being hit on the wrist by a fastball May 15 in San Diego.
