DeShields Down

Delino DeShields, Jr. broke his hamate bone:

This is a predicament for the Rangers, given that they really have no viable replacement center fielder. Rule 5 pick Carlos Tocci is starting in center field today, and is at least nominally the backup right now, but while his defense gets great reviews, his bat isn’t considered to be major league caliber. Drew Robinson could end up getting the bulk of the starts in center while DeShields is out, but he’s not particularly experienced in center field.

DeShields sets the table well, and that will be missed, also.
