Lunsford Put on Shelf, Listed DTD Tuesday, April 23rd , 2052 The topic du jour around Pittsburgh is whether Jim Lunsford of the Pirates will suit up for today's contest. He was injured yesterday against the Brewers while running the bases. The standout 34-year-old right fielder has a strained rib cage muscle and didn't rule out playing, but did say that if pain persisted, he would not risk further injury. "Jim 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 season Lunsford has hit at a .379 clip with 14 RBIs, 5 home runs and 14 runs scored. |
