Gardner Out of the Lineup, Headed For X-Rays

Brett Gardner was pinch-hit for in last night's game because his left thumb was bothering him. That was the thumb he broke last season. Chad Jennings is now reporting that Gardner is out of the lineup tonight and will have x-rays taken on his left thumb before the game. “It doesn’t feel as good as I hoped it would,” Gardner said. Here's another quote from Gardner via Jennings:

“Obviously I’m concerned about it because it’s something that I had a problem with before,” he said. “I don’t expect it to be broken, but I didn’t expect it to be broken last year either. Hopefully I just strained it a little bit or tweaked it a little bit and I’ll be back in there tomorrow.”

I'll post an update as soon as the results are announced.
