UPDATE from the Providence Journal:

Rhode Island native and Red Sox uber-prospect Ryan Westmoreland may be done for the year after sustaining what appears to be a serious injury during Friday night's Lowell Spinners game.
Westmoreland crashed into the outfield wall making a catch in the seventh inning, and initial reports out of Lowell indicated it could be a broken collarbone.
Westmoreland, 19, has been excellent as Lowell's DH, hitting .296 with seven home runs, 38 runs scored, 35 RBI, and 19 steals. He has a .401 on-base percentage.
With short-season Lowell nearing the end of their schedule in early September, it would be a major surprise to see Westmoreland return this season if the injury is as serious as is believed.
