Alison MacKenzie accepts an award at the 2008 Ken Griffey Junior Brain & Nerve Tonic All-Stars Awards Banquet. She will miss the 2009 Spring season with a torn meniscus.
Alison MacKenzie was put on the 60-day disabled list by the Unicorn Apocalypse today. McKenzie, a rising star in the organization, tried to gut out a knee injury in spring training before doctors advised her to shut it down for the spring season.
"She's in big time pain today," said teammate Ian "Doc" Denomme. "[MacKenzie] has been advised to be put on the shelf."
The utility fielder is suffering from a torn meniscus. She's reportedly done for the spring season but could potentially return for the summer or fall season.
"It's a big blow," said team captain Ian Van Den Hurk. "Alison's a valuable piece of this team and all the signs were there for a big breakout. She'll be missed."
Team management declined to comment on any further roster moves but, with Van Den Hurk and utility man Greg Sharp nursing injuries of their own, it may not be long before Anne Morello is recalled from Triple-A.
