Gary Sheffield Injury

Sheffield tore a tendon in his left ring finger yesterday, but says he's going to try to play through it. This sounds like the type of injury that could linger. He might avoid the DL for now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he admits defeat at some point in the next few weeks and hits the DL. I would probably sit him today (assuming you have other decent options) and look for an update on his status tomorrow.
