Chase Headley is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a fractured left pinky finger.
And the Padres' lineup just got that much easier for National League pitchers to navigate. Headley was examined Monday in San Diego by hand specialist Dr. Jake Hamer, who confirmed the initial diagnosis of the injury. The 27-year-old will now be sidelined until at least the early part of September, which means plenty of at-bats for the likes of Logan Forsythe, Alberto Gonzalez and James Darnell at the hot corner.
