Hellickson hurts wrist on odd play at plate, exits

Bader scores on a wild pitch ST. LOUIS -- Jeremy Hellickson left in the fifth inning of Wednesday's game against the Cardinals after he was injured while covering home plate on a wild pitch. With Harrison Bader trying to score from third, Spencer Kieboom's throw to Hellickson at the plate was high and Hellickson tripped over Bader and tumbled to the ground.

The run scored, but Hellickson remained on the ground for a moment. Manager Dave Martinez and the team's head athletic trainer came out and appeared to be checking his right hand and wrist. He threw a few warmup pitches, but could not remain in the game.
