Scott leaves early with injury

Luke Scott continued Baltimore's late-season run of injured outfielders on Wednesday night, when he left the game with a strained muscle in his left foot. Scott, who had gone 1-for-3 with a single in the first seven innings, was replaced in the outfield by Ty Wigginton.

The Orioles have seen Adam Jones, Nolan Reimold and Felix Pie all go out with season-ending injuries in the last few weeks. The roster crunch has gotten so bad that the team had to activate Lou Montanez from the 60-day disabled list before they wanted to do so, and September callup Jeff Fiorentino has seen more action than expected.

Wigginton spent the second half of 2008 as an outfielder but had yet to play there in '09 before Wednesday night. The veteran reserve has played at all the infield positions this season, and manager Dave Trembley had said he'd like to avoid spotting him in the outfield.
