Whit Merrifield has a fractured left foot confirmed by a CT scan, contradicting earlier X-ray results. Initially set for a six-week recovery, new assessments suggest a possible earlier return by next weekend.
Doctors stated that Whit Merrifield's fractured foot could see him sidelined for six weeks, ending his season. However, pain management strategies may allow him to return sooner.
Mark Bowman highlighted the conflicting timelines regarding Merrifield's recovery; while six weeks would miss the rest of the regular season, there’s hope for a quicker comeback.
After injuring his foot by fouling a ball, Merrifield was replaced by Luke Williams, who stepped in to play second base for the Braves.
