Clubhouse Prank May Sideline Heim
Thursday, September 29th, 2050
Washington shortstop Cody Heim may miss a week's worth of games due to a clubhouse prank gone wrong. According to teammates, Ricky Rivera decided to try and give Heim a fright by donning a mask and sneaking up on him in the shower. The prank worked. Unfortunately for the Nationals, it worked a little too well. Heim apparently was so startled by the intrusion that he instinctively flung his arm around to defend himself and unintentionally hit his hand against the shower knob. Heim sustained a laceration to his hand, which required several stitches, as well as a bruised thumb. "Cody was surprisingly good-natured about the incident," said manager Drake Owenby. "Nonetheless, he'll be out for the next few games and that's gonna hurts us." Owenby declined to say whether Rivera would be disciplined for the prank, but says he does believe he is sincerely remorseful for what happened. "I know Ricky feels worse about it than anyone, but I'll have to decide whether or not that's sufficient
punishment. Either way, we'll handle the matter privately."
