Padres' Jon Jay: Expected to miss 4-6 weeks

Jay (forearm) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Preliminary X-rays were negative after Jay was hit by a pitch back on June 19, but a fracture was recently discovered and Jay will need at least a month to recover. Travis Jankowski will likely benefit the most from Jay's absence although Melvin Upton Jr. will likely see occasional starts in center, affording Alex Dickerson time in left.
