The reaction by Albert Almora Jr., putting his hands to his head says it all, as Javier Baez had to leave Sunday night’s game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals.
Baez took a pitch off his left elbow and eventually went down to the ground in agonizing pain. He was taken out shortly after, as Addison Russell took over for him.
Baez does not wear an elbow pad and this sounds a lot worse than it looks.
