guess when they're off the juice they get more fragile.
story here (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1754116) TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees right fielder Gary Sheffield is out indefinitely because of a jammed right thumb.
Sheffield got hurt in a spring training game Saturday against Toronto. At first, the Yankees thought it was only a bruise. But after an MRI exam Sunday, the team decided Monday to send him to a hand expert in New York.
"Now, I'm officially worried about it," general manager Brian Cashman said.
Cashman said the worst-case scenario would be that Sheffield needs surgery, meaning he would be out two to three months. There are no signs of a break, Cashman said, but he would not say whether there was ligament damage.
The best-case scenario, Cashman said, would be that the right fielder could return for spring training games.
