Just when you thought things could not get worse for the Baltimore Orioles, Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Oakland A’s happened. In the top of the first inning, first baseman Trey Mancini was hit by a 92 mph pitch out of the hand of A’s starter Chris Bassitt.
Mancini was hit in the elbow and was immediately removed from the game and replaced by Chris Davis. No additional information has been released on the severity of Mancini’s injury.
Update: Since the original publishing of this piece, x-rays came back negative and Mancini is considered day-to-day.
