Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt suffered a broken left hand when he was hit by a fastball from Pirates reliever Ernesto Frieri on Friday night.
As Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona reports, Goldschmidt has a non-displaced fracture. The first baseman won’t undergo surgery to insert any plates or screws. D-Backs manager Kirk Gibson said of the recovery timetable, “Realistically, it’s eight weeks. So he’s done.”
The Diamondbacks entered play Sunday at 48-63, the third-worst record in the National League. Not much else can go wrong for them.
