New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu struck Marlins pitcher José Ureña with a line drive on his pitching arm.
The Yankees may be wilting in the face of oncoming pressure from the already-clinched Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon, but they’re also causing their opponent a lot of unnecessary pain in the process.
A few innings after a struggling Clarke Schmidt hit Starling Marte, Miami’s major trade deadline acquisition, in the helmet and knocked him out of the game, a DJ LeMahieu line drive struck starting pitcher José Ureña flush on his pitching arm, either getting the wrist or the forearm.
