Werth (wrist) out minimum of six weeks
Jayson Werth - OF - Washington Nationals
May 7, 2012 - 1:20 AM ET

Updating a previous item, Jayson Werth has been diagnosed with a broken left wrist.

Werth will visit with a specialist Monday, but is expected to miss ''at least six weeks.'' His absence creates a need in the outfield, and all but ensures Bryce Harper will avoid being sent down. Tyler Moore likely stands to benefit in the short-term, though the Nationals could also look outside the organization.
