This isn’t the most exciting news…unless you’re Kevin Gregg. In that case, prepare to have some statistics to back up your quest to receive a new contract next year because Kyuji Fujikawa is now out for the season.

Already serving some time on the DL for “forearm issues”, Fujikawa’s second stint on the disabled list for the same issue has now resulted in a surgery that takes up to a year to fully recover from. Since there are really no highlights of Fujikawa, here’s a video of him getting hit in the face with a foul ball:
