Two injury updates from McKechnie Field this morning:
**Chase d’Arnaud injured his left thumb during rundown drills this morning. He will be replaced today in the lineup by Ivan De Jesus Jr. D’Arnaud said it was too early to tell how serious the injury was, but that he didn’t think it was going to be serious.
**Anderson Hernandez hurt his right shoulder last night. There’s no timetable for his return.

And, right on cue, IDJ steps in and hits a HR in today’s game. Maybe it is some sign from above that at age 26, Chase needs to be thinking what is in his future? He is one of those guys who was given his shot and did not do anything with the opportunity. I think it has passed him by with the Pirates.
