BBQ Too Hot to Handle for Ortíz Thursday, January 2nd , 2042 Maracas second baseman Gabriel Ortíz required medical attention yesterday after severely burning himself while barbecuing at his home. Ortíz suffered first and second degree burns when a flame from the grill he was using suddenly shot up his right arm. "It was a pretty scary scene," said teammate Forrest Cuadrado, who was with Ortíz when the accident occurred. "I thought it was going to totally engulf him for a moment." The fire also singed Gabriel Ortíz's hair and eyebrows, but luckily failed to ignite the shirt he was wearing at the time. "It honestly could have been much worse," said Cuadrado. The injury will reportedly keep Ortíz out of action for anywhere from 3 weeks up to a month, but doctors expect the burns to fully heal. |
