PITTSBURGH -- Oft-injured Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton left Saturday’s game at PNC Park after being struck by a pitch on his right wrist.
Stanton was hit by a Trevor Williams pitch in the first inning and immediately winced in pain as he made his way to first. After being examined by the Marlins trainer and manager Don Mattingly, Stanton came out and angrily slammed his helmet against his leg as he entered the dugout.
Stanton, who has hit 16 homers and is hitting .288, has managed to avoid injury this season.
But he has dealt with injuries throughout his career.
