Bad News for Mallards, Huerta Injured
It took the <Minnesota:team#5> team doctor a while to realize it, but third baseman <Jonathan Huerta:player#10333> won't simply play through an oblique strain after he got hurt colliding with a player at a base in today's Lions-Mallards game. At first, it looked like Huerta might be back as early as tomorrow, but now the prognosis isn't quite so good; he's expected to miss at least 6-7 weeks. 

So far this season, <Huerta:player#10333> has recorded a .252 batting average with 53 hits, 16 home runs, 35 RBIs, 36 runs scored and a .321 OBP.
