Max Meyer leaves game in first inning with right elbow discomfort
Max Meyer’s rise to the majors was slowed by an arm injury that he suffered earlier this season. Only a week after entering the Marlins starting rotation, his career has been interrupted by another one. Meyer lasted 10 pitches into his start against the Pirates on Saturday before departing with right elbow discomfort.
Meyer reluctantly called to the Marlins dugout for assistance after issuing a two-out walk to Ke’Bryan Hayes in the bottom of the first inning. Even before that, the 23-year-old right-hander recognized that there was a physical issue. He deliberately walked around in between each of his final three pitches instead of staying on the mound.
