Injury Takes Toll, Javier Tapia Out
Dealing with injuries is part of the game, and now <Javier Tapia:player#14735> of the Crawdads knows this firsthand. He was injured against the <Miami Oranges:team#127> while colliding with a player at a base. Because of a concussion, the <Scottsdale:team#125> center fielder is expected to miss 4-5 months. Tapia was a little upset, but understands it comes with the territory. "Baseball can be a contact sport. You try to be careful, but no matter how careful you are, injuries happen."

For the season <Tapia:player#14735> is hitting .227, batted in 6 runs with 1 home run and 11 runs scored.
