SAN FRANCISCO (AP) 鈥� Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers has a broken big toe on his right foot and was not in the lineup for Tuesday鈥檚 game against the San Francisco Giants.
Bauers was injured when he fouled a ball off his foot during Monday鈥檚 . The Brewers鈥� home run leader with 18 later walked gingerly off the field and left the game.
An X-ray initially revealed a fracture line in Bauers鈥� toe before additional testing Tuesday revealed the extent of the injury.
鈥淎t the time they weren鈥檛 sure if it was old or new,鈥� Bauers said Tuesday. 鈥淕ot an MRI and CT scan this morning. Doctors came back and said it was probably old and was already there. Right now it鈥檚 just swelling and a little bit of pain. Gonna be fine.鈥�
The 30-year-old left-hander was relieved to learn he didn鈥檛 suffer a new injury.
The Brewers have not set a timetable for his return.
鈥淚f it was new it was just going to be pain management,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he fact that it鈥檚 old is probably better of the two options. It鈥檚 going to be fine. Just got to get the swelling down.鈥�
