Jeremy Peña left Monday’s game against the Blue Jays with a trainer in the sixth inning.
It’s never a great sign when a hitter departs in the middle of an at-bat after fouling off a pitch. He finished 1-for-2 with a run scored and two stolen bases. The 28-year-old will undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of this issue. The obvious concern here is a dreaded hamate fracture, which would result in a multi-week absence. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
