NEW YORK A tremendous catch turned into a heartbreaking injury at Yankee Stadium on Saturday night.
Outfielder Tim Locastro tore his right ACL on a play in the first inning, Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed after New York s rain-shortened victory over the Red Sox.

This is a marked increase from Park’s numbers in five previous minor league seasons, as he offered some good on-base skills but little in the way of power.
