Burkes

Any word on the severity of his injury? Really need him back for the stretch run.

If this is just a short term issue then it could be a bit of a blessing in disguise. Get Fawley some time behind the plate to give him more experience and develop a better backup and possible pinch hitter and give Burkes a bit of rest to ensure that he's more fresh for the end of the season.

Hopefully just a tweak. He was running a bit still when it happened. We never hear any injury news from the team though.

Agreed. Fawley did great defensively. No past balls, nearly threw out a runner at second. His bat is dicey, but he did get a key double early in the game.
