Junior Caminero suffers apparent quad injury

On Sunday afternoon, Junior Caminero was showcasing all of the reasons why he is one of the top prospects in all of baseball. During his first trip to the plate, he launched a solo homerun off of rehabbing Baltimore Orioles ace John Means. Later on in the game, Caminero walked and singled and stole second as part of a double steal. Defensively, Caminero also made a highlight reel worthy play as he made a diving stop and a strong throw to record an out.

Then, in a later at-bat, Caminero scorched a ground ball with a 102 exit velocity right back to the pitcher’s mound that actually knocked the glove off of the pitcher’s hand.
