Nomar to miss Opening Day

According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, 3rd baseman Nomar Garciappara is now "doubtful" for Opening Day.

Team officials are saying that his broken right hand is worse than first thought. After Nomar had undergone an MRI on Wednesday, the results revealed a microfracture of a bone at the base of his right hand.

Nomar Garciappara, "Everybody wants to predict. I'm not. I have no control over it. I'm looking one day at a time. That's all I can do."

Manager Joe Torre, "I don't anticipate him being ready for Opening Day." Though Torre did list Tony Abreu as the logical choice to be the Opening Day starter at 3rd, but he also listed Blake DeWitt and Chin-lung Hu as candidates as well.
