PIT-SFG 4-12-1961

PITTSBURGH PIRATES PRESS RELEASE TO BE RELEASED TO ALL MEDIA APRIL 12, 1961 

San Francisco, CA-April 12 
The ball club has placed RF Roberto Clemente on the 10-day disabled list after he sprained his right wrist hitting a line drive in the second inning of this afternoon's ballgame in San Francisco. His absence covers the games from April 12(today) to April 22 against Milwaukee at Forbes Field. He is scheduled to return for the April 23 game against Milwaukee at Forbes Field. It is unfortunate to have this injury early in the season, but we want him to have the proper rest before he rejoins the lineup. Donn Clendenon, Joe Christopher and Walt Moryn will all take turns filling in for Clemente until his return. 

For Immediate Release
Public Relations Department
Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Club
Pittsburgh, PA
