AL bench coach Kevin Cash hopes to be off crutches for All-Star game
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash could be crutches free when he serves as the American League bench coach in Tuesday's All-Star Game.
Cash has needed the assistance since fracturing his left foot and spraining his left ankle before Sunday's game at Baltimore after stumbling on a railroad track while running on streets around Camden Yards.
"I hoping that I get some good news here from the doctor that I won't be immobilized because if I've walking around on the crutches, I'm going to get worn out," Cash said before Thursday night's game against Boston.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I'm fine. Embarrassed, but that's alright. I'll probably gain some weight now. Try to play for the tie and keep the weight off but I can't run for a little while now."
The Miami Marlins are hosting this year's All-Star Game.
