Arizona Catcher Chris Snyder “Fractures” Left Testicle

Snyder was hit by a foul ball off the bat of Milwaukee outfielder Corey Hart in the fourth inning. Snyder was diagnosed with a left testicular fracture and will have surgery on Wednesday.

According to eMedicine.com, a testicular rupture or fractured of the testis refers to a rip or tear in the tunica albuginea resulting in extrusion of the testicular contents.

As of Tuesday Snyder was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

15-days? That’s it? If that doesn’t scream “retirement” I don’t know what does.
