NEW YORK (AP) — Miami outfielder Starling Marte and right-hander José Ureña left Sundays’ regular-season finale against the New York Yankees after getting hurt in the early innings.
Marte was hit on the front of his helmet by Clarke Schmidt’s 94 mph fastball in the second inning. The pitch knocked off the helmet. Marte stayed down for a few minutes and was replaced by Lewis Brinson.
Ureña, a candidate for Miami’s postseason bullpen, was hit on his pitching hand by a 103.9 mph line drive from AL batting leader DJ LeMahieu with one out in the third.
