 | Saturday, June 14th, 2008: Tides Fernando Nieve Injured: Day-to-Day
Norfolk's star reliever Fernando Nieve injured himself in a game against the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees, prompting the team to list him as day-to-day. The doctors are reporting the injury as a damaged meniscus and the best medicine is a short period of rest. "Hopefully I don't get replaced by some hotshot wannabe," said Nieve with a smile as he talked to SION reporters.
Nieve has made 2 relief appearances this year and notched no saves. To date in 76.1 innings he has a 3-6 record, 6.25 ERA with 51 strikeouts and 11 walks.
