From ESPN.com’s MLB Rumors:

The Seattle Times is reporting that Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre might miss the rest of the season after taking a grounder to his groin in Wednesday’s game against the White Sox.

Beltre is out indefinitely with a contusion to his right testicle that might require surgery.

People give baseball players a tough time for taking too many days off. Let’s agree to cut Mr. Beltre some slack.
