Eric Byrnes is expected to miss four to eight weeks after breaking the fifth metacarpal in his left hand when he was hit by a pitch in the second inning on Thursday night.

The Diamondbacks said Byrnes will require surgery after he was drilled with a 90 mph fastball by Texas right-hander Scott Feldman on a 1-2 pitch.
