Did Pires actually list Maroney as "Kool-aid" and Seymour as "Rick"...LOL
Well if this info is legit he likely has the best case avulsion fracture the ex-Sox doc Morgan described to Tomase last night. That would be a real break (no pun intended) as he would certainly be good to go before the playoffs to be dialed in when the second season starts.
This is good news - as bad as it was, it will be a lucky "break" if indeed he can come back and be the old Rodney after a week or two, following his return.
The fact that he can still work out - lower body, after a while, should enable him to stay in decent football shape.
