Injury Sidelines Chris Thayer For Year
<Oklahoma City:team#13> catcher <Chris Thayer:player#7629> could miss the remainder of the season because of a torn posterior cruciate ligament. He exited yesterday's <Olympia:team#95> game after injuring himself while running the bases. The original diagnosis said Thayer would be out 7-8 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."

This season <Thayer:player#7629> has 3 home runs and a .289 batting average.
