Arizona Diamondbacks' catcher Chris Snyder landed on the 15-day DL after incurring (gulp) a fractured testicle. The injury occurred on a foul tip.
I guess manager Bob Melvin forgot to do a pre-game cup check.

This sounds like something out of a Family Guy skit. A fractured testicle? I didn't even know you could do that. You wanna talk about bad luck. Just the thought of that makes me want to walk around with a cup on, and I work in an office!

Oh man. I had epididymitis once, and I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on anyone. It's debilitating and nauseating. Plus, I had to flush the pain meds down the toilet after 3 days for fear of getting hooked on them (I was starting to look forward to them just a tad too much).

Even while wearing a cup it happens. The testicle is like a grape, if you squeeze it just right it will crack or split "fracture". It is a surgical emergency and can be repaired easily, depending on the way the testis was "burst". Sometimes, unfortunately, the "fracture" is so bad that the testicle can't be salvaged and must be removed.
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery Chris!
