A.J. Burnett Will Miss 2 To 3 Months Because He Broke His Face Trying To Bunt

Burnett fractured his orbital bone when this happened on Wednesday, and he had to have surgery this morning. Best-case scenario has him out of the rotation until early May, which means Erik Bedard will likely be the Bucs' Opening Day starter. It's only been a few weeks since the trade, but it's already like Burnett and the Pirates were made for each other.
