Albert Almora Sidelined Until Late-May with Broken Hamate Bone

Albert Almora announced late Thursday night that he broke his hamate bone earlier in the day. Almora did not go into details on his Twitter account how it happened or the extent of the injury.

According to reports from Carrie Muskat and Gordon Wittenmyer, Almora broke the hamate bone in his left hand and should be able to return to baseball activities in three-four weeks. Almora will likely be sidelined until late-May.

Albert Almora did not say how he broke the hamate bone in his left hand, but according to Gordon Wittenmyer it happened swinging a bat on Thursday.

Baseball players have had mixed results recovering from hamate bone surgery as a report from the Baltimore Sun pointed out. There are some notable cases that show players can return to form rather quickly from the wrist injury.
