Matt den Dekker left today's Tigers-Mets game early after injuring his wrist while jumping for a ball in center field. He took x-rays, and they showed that the wrist is broken. He will travel to to Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, and he will determine whether he needs surgery or not. den Dekker was hitting .205 this spring, but had several outstanding defensive plays in center field.I don't think that den Dekker would have made the team, but he was definitely a player to root for this spring. He was very exciting to watch out in center-field, but he also showed some weakness at the plate. What we can hope for now is that he recovers fully, has a bounce-back season in Triple-A, and makes his MLB debut sometime during the summer.
