On May 5th, Clay Buchholz was placed on the 15-day DL list for a broken nail on the middle finger of his right hand (His throwing hand). Some people may think that is just a girly-girl's excuse, "Omg I broke a nail". But for Clay that is not the story. Your middle finger is actually a big factor when pitching. You put a lot of pressure on your middle finger when you throw. And when you have a hangnail, it really hurts to throw a ball. And besides, its only the 15-day DL so its no big deal anyway. Another reason he was put on the DL was becasue J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp were put on the DL the night before. The Sox had no outfielder and because they had 3 guys on the DL, they could bring up another player- that would be Jonathan Van Every, from Pawtucket. Here is what Buch had to say:
"Sort of the right time for them," Buchholz said, "and the wrong time for me."
