Just to ease minds, yes it is only the 15-Day DL. All expectations are that he'll be back after the first week of the season.
This is just a hairline fracture too - not a huge break, etc... It will heal with no problems. The throbbing and swelling have already greatly decreased - so as long as he can rest it for a few days, it will be good. That means stay away autograph seekers! haha...
Seriously, this is nothing at all. If it was at any other point, no one would be worried. He just hates not being in the Opening Day lineup, though.
