Buster Posey has broken bone

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey has a broken bone in his left ankle, a source close to the situation told CSNBayArea.com on Thursday.
Posey was injured in a 12th-inning collision at home plate with the Marlins' Scott Cousins, who was scored the winning run on the play in Florida's 7-6 win.
"It's way serious," the source told CSNBayArea.com, adding that S-rays taken after the play revealed the fracture, according to the report.
An MRI was scheduled for Thursday, at which time the Giants said they would discuss the results.
Cousins tagged from third base on a sacrifice fly, beating the throw from Nate Schierholtz and lowering his shoulder to slam into Posey for a brutal, but clean, hit on the reigning NL Rookie of the Year.
Posey lay dazed, writhing in pain and curling up in a ball for several minutes as the ballpark fell silent. After several minutes, with fans chanting "Posey! Posey!" he was helped off the field by two team trainers holding his left leg and looking stunned.
