Murray's baseball team has a favorable draw for the All A Classic state tournament, but there is a chance the Tigers won't be at full strength in Lexington.
Outfielder David Kuykendall, who has become a reliable leadoff hitter, is out indefinitely with what could be a broken bone in his left wrist. Kuykendall sustained the injury in Saturday's sectional win over Russellville when he was sliding into second base and grabbed the bag because he was afraid he might have overslid.
"He's got a splint, not a full cast on it," Murray coach Mike Johnson said, "but we many not know until next week exactly what the wrist looks like. There is a lot of swelling there."
Kuykendall could be out anywhere from a week until the end of the season, and even a week off could be damaging to Murray's hopes in Lexington. He almost certainly won't see time this weekend, when Murray plays in the Louisville Invitational Tournament, and the hope is he could get a few at-bats against line pitching the next week before Murray heads to Lexington.
