Imae's Injury Status?

Discussion in the Open Talk forum

Last weekend Toshiaki Imae (Marines) was hit in the wrist while batting (although the rest of the game was pretty great) and has been out since. My lack of Japanese doesn't allow me to pick up too much of what they are saying, but I've heard him mentioned a few times. Has anyone got any details such as the extent of the injury or how long he'll be out?

Did anyone else crack up at the stuffed "Gori" they have sitting in the dugout? XP

According to Monday's (September 8, 2008) Nikkan Sports, it was a fracture to his right ulna (elbow bone). Chances of Imae returning before the end of the season, or even for the Climax Series, are slim to none.

I've updated Imae's status to reflect that he was taken off the roster on the 8th. I really need to do a better job at keeping up with the transactions/injuries. Sorry about that.

Ahh thanks for the update, how sad. And he was having such a good season.
