June 30 (The Sports Xchange) - New York Yankees rookie outfielder Dustin Fowler, who suffered an open rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee crashing into the right-field low fence and railing in the first inning of his major league debut Thursday night, is determined more than ever following surgery.

Fowler, who was called up earlier in the day from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was injured in the first inning of the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago while chasing a two-out foul ball.

The Washington Nationals placed shortstop Trea Turner on the 10-day disabled list with a non-displaced fracture in his right wrist.

Turner left Thursday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the top of the ninth inning after being hit by a pitch from right-hander Pedro Strop in his previous plate appearance. X-rays confirmed the fracture.
