Day-to-Day Injury Shelves Kawachi Sunday, October 9th , 2050 The topic du jour around Oakland is whether Muneo Kawachi of the Athletics will suit up for today's contest. He was injured yesterday against the White Sox while making a defensive play. The standout 34-year-old center fielder has a strained oblique and didn't rule out playing, but did say that if pain persisted, he would not risk further injury. "Muneo will play if he can," said the team doctor. "He hasn't got a major injury, but at the same time, we need to monitor the situation and protect him as much as possible." This year Kawachi has hit at a .291 clip with 143 hits, 16 home runs, 65 RBIs and 65 runs scored. |
