Youk Likely Done for Season

It looks Kevin Youkilis will miss the remainder of the season with his thumb injury:

Two unimpeachable sources now advise that Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis, who appeared to jam his thumb while batting the other night, has in fact so severely torn a muscle – possibly a torn ligament – that whether or not he will actually require surgery on the injured hand, he is not expected to play again this season.

Is if possible for the Red Sox to make the playoffs without their best hitter?  The team may go after Adam Dunn if they believe Lowell’s hip won’t hold up for the rest of the season.

UPDATE: Youk told @HackswithHaggs that this report is not true.  Watch below:
