ST. PETERSBURG http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-mitch-moreland-jersey , Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson has been put on the 10-day disabled list with a sprained left thumb and might miss the rest of the season.Robertson was hurt sliding into second base on a double Friday night. He will see a hand specialist Sunday to determine if surgery will be required.“In all likelihood it’s going to be a significant amount of time, we’re talking six to eight weeks,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said Saturday.Robertson is hitting .262 with nine homers, 34 RBIs and has a .382 on-base percentage in 88 games.“I went in hard,” Robertson said. “When I got up I took my batting gloves and didn’t feel anything. (Then) my thumb didn’t feel too well. I thought it was just dislocated.”Tampa Bay purchased the contract of infielder/outfielder Brandon Lowe from Triple-A Durham. After hitting 16 homers in his first two minor league season, he has gone deep a combined 22 times this season between Double-A Montgomery (8) and Durham (14).Lowe, with a smile, credited “eating to-go apple sauces” with his power surge.“That kind of sparked it all Tony Conigliaro Jersey ,” Lowe said.Cash said Lowe will probably start Sunday in left field.“Impacting the baseball like that, it’s hard not be noticed,” Cash said. ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels two-way rookie Shohei Ohtani will have Tommy John surgery next week.The Angels confirmed Ohtani’s long-expected decision on elbow ligament replacement Tuesday. Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the surgery in Los Angeles.“I think it was the proper decision Shohei made to have surgery, and the sooner the better,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before his club faced the Texas Rangers, with Ohtani batting cleanup as the designated hitter.Ohtani won’t be able to pitch for the Angels in 2019, but he is likely to hit at some point early next season. When asked whether Ohtani is likely to be ready for opening day as a hitter Rafael Devers Jersey , Scioscia said there are “too many variables” to make a confident prediction.Ohtani wasn’t available to reporters before the game, but Scioscia confirmed general manager Billy Eppler’s earlier statements that the Angels are committed to Ohtani’s determination to be a two-way player in the majors.“It obviously puts him out of pitching in 2019, but he’ll be able to hit, and I think he’s at peace with that,” Scioscia said. “He wants to excel at both phases of the game. The fact he can’t pitch (next season), there is a little bit of a void. But he’ll be able to hit and focus on that.”Ohtani went 4-2 with a 3.31 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 10 mostly outstanding starts for the Angels, but he has pitched just once since early June after developing a strained right elbow. He returned to the mound Sept. 2 but incurred more damage to his elbow ligament.The 24-year-old Ohtani has continued as the Angels’ designated hitter. He is batting .280 with 56 RBIs after hitting his 21st homer Monday.Ohtani is a top contender for the AL Rookie of the Year award despite his truncated pitching season. With just 347 plate appearances, he is leading all AL rookies in on-base percentage (.361) http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-j.-d.-martinez-jersey , slugging percentage (.564) and OPS (.925), while his 21 homers are fourth among AL rookies.He is the first player in major league history to hit at least 15 homers and strike out at least 50 batters in a single season, and he joined Babe Ruth as the only players ever to hit 15 homers and pitch 50 innings. Ohtani and Ruth are the only players since 1900 to hit 10 homers while winning at least four games.Ohtani also has set the big league record for homers by a Japanese-born rookie, surpassing Kenji Johjima’s 18 homers in 2006.
