Forsythe was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a hairline fracture in his left shoulder blade, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE reports.
This is a difficult loss for the Rays as Forsythe had been arguably their best player to this point in the season, already reaching a 1.8 WAR, which is .8 higher than any other position player on the team. Forsythe was not only strong in the field, but he also buoyed a weak offense by slashing .308/.398/.523 with four home runs. Steve Pearce is taking Forsythe's place at second base Saturday, but Tim Beckham figures to also see some time there while Forsythe is sidelined. There's no timetable for Forsythe's return at this point.
