Manager Kevin Cash indicated Saturday that Font (lat) could be sidelined for eight weeks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Font was placed on the 10-day disabled list earlier Saturday with a right lat strain and is now looking at an extended stay on the shelf. The 28-year-old had a rough start to the season with the Dodgers and A's but has been fantastic since being acquired by Tampa Bay, posting a 1.67 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 27 innings, including five starts.
