Setback For Athletics and Willie Darkis Saturday, September 18th, 1982 All is not well with Willie Darkis in his recovery from a fractured foot. The 22-year-old Athletics right fielder has already reached some significant steps in his rehabilitation, but his manager said that the team will continue to be cautious with Darkis and take his progression one day at a time, especially after the setback yesterday. "Yesterday he was feeling good but he didn't do a lot on the field," he said. "Today he was supposed to be on the field doing light stuff and then gradually start working right back up. I think he overdid it." A post-workout examination revealed that Darkis had re-injured himself and would now miss at least 2-3 weeks because of it. Currently Darkis is batting .149 with 7 home runs and 17 RBIs. |
