Charlie Condon Out Six Weeks With Wrist Fracture

Rockies prospect Charlie Condon has suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist after a diving attempt to catch a ball during a Spring Training game. Fortunately, there is no ligament damage, and he will not require surgery, but he will wear a splint for four weeks and will be sidelined from baseball activities for six weeks. Condon, who was drafted third overall last summer, has had a difficult start to his professional career, hitting only .180 with one home run in 109 plate appearances at High-A Spokane last season. His injury is a setback as he aimed to improve this year after a challenging debut. Once cleared, he is expected to return to Spokane to continue his development. This injury adds to the concern surrounding his early performance, as he had reportedly been playing through a thumb issue prior to this wrist injury.
