San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey has suffered a broken ankle and will be out indefinitely.
Posey, 24, suffered the injury during a home-plate collision with Florida Marlins outfielder Scott Cousins in the 12th inning of a 7-6 Florida win.
Posey will also undergo a MRI on Thursday to determine whether of not he has also suffered ligament damage. For the season, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year is batting .284 with four homers and 21 RBIs.
Jeff Berry, Posey's agent stated on Thursday morning that he will contact Joe Torre, the leader of on-field operations in the MLB, about changing rules about plays at home plate.
San Francisco is expected to place Posey on the disabled list and call up Brandon Belt from Triple-A Fresno.
