ESPN baseball insider Jeff Passan revealed Monday that he suffered a vertebra fracture when a tree limb fell on him.
"Sorry I haven't been posting lately," he wrote. "During cleanup after a big storm in KC, a large tree limb decided to fall and crush me. The good news: I still have use of my arms, legs and Twitter fingers. The bad news: I have a broken back."
Passan also thanked his family, friends and ESPN for providing support and notably said "my back may be shot, but my phone still works" in a nod to his ability to still share news with MLB's Aug. 1 trade deadline approaching.
