Suffers finger injury Jordan left Saturday's game for Double-A Portland with a finger injury on his left hand, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Jordan's hand came into contact with the opposing catcher's glove while getting tagged out at the plate and he did not return. The severity of the injury has yet to be determined, so Jordan should be considered day-to-day for now. The 21-year-old is hitting .283 with two home runs and a 10 percent strikeout rate in 25 games.

Promoted to Double-A Jordan was promoted to Double-A Portland this week, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.

Impact Jordan put up great numbers in a return trip to High-A Greenville, and he was particularly dominant of late. The 20-year-old first baseman hit .362/.434/.586 with seven home runs, a 10.9 percent walk rate and a 12.6 percent strikeout rate in his last 39 games for the Drive. Jordan's stark splits (.892 OPS vs. RHP, 1.088 OPS vs. LHP) will be worth tracking against Double-A pitching, but he's one of the youngest hitters at the level, so some initial growing pains can be expected.

Cuts strikeouts at High-A Jordan hit .330 with two home runs, 10 doubles and a 10.4 percent strikeout rate in May for High-A Greenville.

Impact As a potential designated hitter in the majors, Jordan's bat will need to carry the day, and he has not faced much resistance this season in a return to the Sally League. He has cut his strikeout rate from 25.5 percent in 25 games at High-A last year to 16.1 percent this season, with that mark steadily trending down. As a righty hitter, Jordan will need to do enough damage against right-handed pitching to avoid the short side of a platoon, and thus far that remains an open question. He has a .795 OPS and 17.4 percent strikeout rate against righties and a 1.151 OPS and 9.7 percent strikeout rate against lefties this season.
