CINCINNATI, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Reds center fielder Ken Griffey, Jr., broke his left -- throwing -- hand in an accident at his home, the National League team said Friday.
Griffey is to have the hand placed in a cast for three weeks and then re-examined, the Reds said in a release. Team officials didn't say how or when the injury occurred.
Griffey has had a series of injuries limit his playing time since he joined Cincinnati, his hometown, from Seattle. Last season he hit .252 with 27 home runs and 72 runs batted in despite being sidelined in September with a toe injury and appearing in only 109 games.
When he has been able to play regularly, however, Griffey amasses Hall of Fame statistics. He is tied with Reggie Jackson for 10th all time in home runs with 563. Griffey has been selected for the All-Star Game in 12 of his 18 major league seasons.
