At least we don't have to worry about phone books anymore.

I wouldn't say the playing WBC that is the problem, as pointed out by so many, but rather how it was missed and he kept playing on it after it happened?

X-rays were negative. Brewers also got him x-rays when the WBC ended and he returned to them, negative again. It wasn't until later after experiencing discomfort after a check swing that an MRI revealed a hairline fracture at the base of his middle finger. So it's a very tiny fracture that didn't show up on initial images.

"Chourio was hit by a pitch on March 4 while playing an exhibition game for Venezuela in West Palm Beach, Fla., ahead of the World Baseball Classic. X-rays at the time were negative and he sat out the first two games of the tournament -- but he had been playing ever since, including both of the Brewers’ exhibition games against the Reds in Milwaukee on Monday and Tuesday.

On a check swing during one of those games, Chourio felt renewed discomfort and went for an MRI scan, which revealed a small hairline fracture at the base of his middle finger."

Murphy said. “Hit by a pitch doesn’t mean you’re out. He said he felt fine. They scanned it there, no fracture. Came back [following the WBC] and they scanned it, no fracture. Then it kept giving him problems so they went in and did an MRI and can see things other scans can’t see.

No, he was hit in a WBC game for Venezuela. But he played in the WBC and several ST games before mentioning that his hand hurt.  Possibly aggravating it in an ST game. 

But someone else made the point above... is there any more risk in getting hit in ST vs the WBC?  Most of the players came back to ST with fewer ABs than the players that stayed.  

Players that play sports will get hurt at sometime.  At least he didn't hurt himself celebrating...

Chourio was hit playing for Venezuela but it was playing against the Nationals in a ST exhibition game so it was effectively a ST game.

Ahh... I thought he was first hit in STing and they cleared him, then the WBC. I guess it being vs the Nationals... muddied it a bit, but doesn't make much of a difference.

 As for risk, I would think the risk would be with pitchers. In the WBC, you're facing pitchers who probably have better control and would be less likely to hit you. A year or two ago, having Mis throwing in STing would  have bee terrifying. 

It sucks, but I'm not upset with the WBC. I thought this one was exciting and was great for Baseball. I hope we don't have pitchers in it next time around(selfishly), but I wouldn't be mad about having 4-5 players from Chourio, Made, Fischer, Pena, Quero... hopefully more who are worthy. Tyler Black perhaps? Still clinging to some hope he develops as a LHed 1B/OF.
