Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Suffers broken right hand

DeLuca sustained a broken right hand in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He's expected to be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks.

DeLuca was pulled from Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch. He received X-rays at the hospital, which revealed a broken right hand. The injury is a major blow for DeLuca, who was off to a solid start to spring and appeared on track to make the Rays' Opening Day roster as a short-side platoon outfielder. Before being acquired by the Rays in December, DeLuca played in 24 games for the Dodgers last season and slashed .262/.311/.429 with two home runs and six RBI over 45 plate appearances.
