From SFgate.com:
Affeldt sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee Saturday night when his son Walker, a 4-year-old who already stands 4-foot-6 and weighs 60 pounds, leaped off the sofa and ran into Affeldt's arm when the pitcher got home.It actually could have been worse, as Affeldt told reporters he felt a pop. So it could have been worse. Still, Affeldt sounds like he's embarrassed again.
"The trainers are tired of getting that call, 'Hey, I'm at home and I hurt myself,' " he said (SFgate.com). "As an athlete, you'd rather get hurt doing your job than not doing it."
In terms of doing his job on the field this season, Affeldt has a 4.09 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in 11 innings.
