Chalk up another one for the crack Red Sox medical staff. The latest word on the 'severe left ankle sprain' of
Blake Swihart is that
the OF/C is likely out until the beginning of August. Remember the "two week immobilization" that was first forecast? Scratch that. The four week forecast? Scratch that. And, frankly, don't pin your hopes on early August either—this could be a season-ending injury. Neither
Doctor Howard,
Doctor Fine, or the
other Doctor Howard could be reached for comment.
