Orioles' Chris Johnson: Suffers broken bone

Johnson suffered a broken ulna bone after being hit by a pitch on his right forearm in Saturday's game with Triple-A Norfolk, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports. He was placed on the 7-day disabled list and is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks.

Johnson, who signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles in February, was hit by a pitch in spring training that sent him to the X-ray room, too. Unfortunately for the 32-year-old, Saturday's results didn't come back with positive news like the previous report. The injury likely dashes any hope Johnson had of receiving a promotion to the big leagues in the near future.
