A second set of x-rays on the foot of San Francisco Giants' pitcher Barry Zito came up negative, and that's a positive bit of news for the Giants. From CSN Bay Area:
Barry Zito’s Foot Not Broken
Giants left-hander Barry Zito’s trip to a Bay Area podiatrist on Monday, which included specialized x-rays designed to provide a more accurate assessment of the extent of any structural damage in his sprained right foot, confirmed an earlier x-ray’s finding that there are no broken bones.The report also notes that though there was no change from the initial diagnosis of a sprained foot, Zito is on crutches and wearing an immobilization boot.
Zito left Saturday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after falling awkwardly while fielding a pop-up to the mound. He was placed on the disabled list for the first time in his career, a streak that spanned over twelve seasons.
The Giants plan to start Ryan Vogelsong in Zito's place on Friday night when the Atlanta Braves come into San Francisco.
