Jeff Zrebiec and Roch Kubatko of the Baltimore Sun that Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada will have to end his consecutive games played streak at 1,152 games after further tests on his left wrist indicated a nondisplaced fracture.
Tejada batted in yesterday's game at San Diego, but only bunted and then came out of the game for Chris Gomez. The injury occurred in Wednesday night's game at San Diego when Tejada was hit by a pitch from Doug Brocail.
Tejada's streak is currently the fifth longest in major league history behind:
I think Pierre is the next-longest, but the number is in doubt.
