- Larry Bigbie, among the contenders for the St. Louis Cardinals' vacant left field job, said Friday he'll be sidelined two to three weeks with a stress fracture in his left foot.
Bigbie, acquired from the Colorado Rockies in the offseason, is batting .231 with two doubles and two RBI in 26 at-bats this spring. An MRI exam earlier in the week confirmed the break.
The left-handed hitting Bigbie batted .248 for the Orioles last year with five homers and 21 RBI in 206 at-bats. He was signed with the possibility of platooning in left field with So Taguchi.
