AP: Knee injury KOs Iwamura for season

CLEVELAND—Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Akinori Iwamura will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.

Iwamura was injured trying to turn a double play in the eighth inning Sunday against the Florida Marlins and was carted off the field.

He will have surgery after the swelling goes down, according to Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.

Oh, my poor fantasy team.

Shame for the Rays. Iwamura was a nice fit in the bottom of that lineup.

Meh, if it gets Zobrist full playing time, it's a plus.

Can Zobrist really play second base?!

Zorilla time!

But Zobrist should be getting that time in RF, filling a hole. Now RF is back in the hands of Gabe and Gabe. Ugh.

I'm guessing that Reid Brignac will probably play there - he's played some there for Durham this year.
