News and Notes around Major League Baseball for Friday night
Ozzie Albies of the Braves had to leave their win over the Cubs after getting hit by a pitch, Fox Sports reports. The good news is that a sweeping curveball hit him; the bad is that it looked to either have connected directly on his shin bone or knee cap. Albies had doubled and scored in four at-bats before leaving the game. There is no word yet as to the severity of the injury.
The Astros will give Kyle Tucker the night off Friday in Seattle, RotoWire reports.
