As the Guardians pursue an AL Central title, they're going to be doing so a little shorthanded. Pitchers Zach Plesac and Aaron Civale hit the injured list Friday, according to Terry Francona, the former with a broken hand and the latter due to forearm inflammation.
While atlanta braves jersey 3xl Civale's injury is relatively normal wear-and-tear, Plesac's was self-inflicted. In his last start against the Mariners, Plesac gave up a home run to Jake Lamb iTim Andersonn the seventh inning. He responded by one-inch-punching the mound, which is what the Guardians are ascribing his injury to.
Francona praised Plesac after the game, saying "he did really well … He competed like crazy. And when you really look back on it, if he didn't we wouldn't have a chance."
