Although the Washington Nationals were fairly certain that outfielder Jayson Werth's wrist wasn't broken, test results revealed the contrary on Thursday.
According to a report from MLB.com, which has yet to be confirmed by the Nats, a CT scan revealed that Werth has "two small fractures" in his left wrist, where he was hit by a pitch on May 15.
Werth, whose timetable for return was a few weeks under the assumption that his wrist was only bruised, is now expected to miss at least two more months of action.

"Dr. Richard Berger, who operated on Werth's wrist in 2012, is convinced that the veteran outfielder will return to full strength," the report details. "If Werth's rehabilitation goes according to plan, he could return as early as August."
