Orioles' Welington Castillo went to emergency room after ball hit groin, DL possible

Orioles catcher Welington Castillo required a hospital trip Tuesday night into Wednesday morning and could land on the disabled list after a pitch that hit New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius deflected down into his groin area, manager Buck Showalter said.

“Castillo spent a lot of time in the emergency room last night, postgame, with the obvious contusion, whatever you want to call it, that he had last night that everybody knows about,” Showalter said.

“He’s got a hematoma there in his groin that we’re going to monitor and see how it progresses.
