Fracture In Shoulder Keeps Jason Bourgeois Out 4 to 6 Weeks

Jason Bourgeois slid into secondbase head first in the first Cactus League game.

He felt something in his shoulder so the Reds' medical staff treated it and the Reds kept him out of action a couple days.

Bourgeois started to feel better and with a roster spot on the line was eager to get back on the field to compete for it.

Saturday Bourgeois executed a sacrifice bunt. On his way to first he fell to the ground, clutching his left arm in pain.

"It came out of the blue," head trainer Paul Lessard said after the game.

An MRI revealed a fracture in his left scapula, which will keep the 33-year old with 249 Major League games of experience out of action from four to six weeks.

Brennan Boesch and Donald Lutz are left in the running for the fourth outfielder spot on the roster.
