Morning State Sports Briefs: Brewer pitcher Narveson injures hand with scissors

Milwaukee Brewer left-hander Chris Narveson cut himself with a pair of scissors whilehe was trying to fix the laces on his glove, and the injury required eight stitches.

ST. LOUIS - Milwaukee Brewer left-hander Chris Narveson cut himself with a pair of scissors whilehe was trying to fix the laces on his glove, and the injury required eight stitches.

The injury means Narveson will miss his next scheduled start Friday against the Pirates at Miller Park. Manager Ron

Roenicke says he'll talk to general manager Doug Melvin today to

figure out how to handle it. Harveson says he didn't cut the part of

his thumb he uses to grip the ball, so he doesn't think the gash will

keep him out of action for long.
