Injury Sidelines Ron Schneider for Season
<Illinois:team#74> center fielder <Ron Schneider:player#9082> could miss the remainder of the season because of torn ankle ligaments. He exited yesterday's <Minnesota:team#5> game after injuring himself while making a defensive play. The original diagnosis said Schneider would be out 4 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."

Thus far this season in 99 games Schneider is batting .284 with 5 home runs, 39 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He has 98 hits in 345 at-bats.
