[Katie Woo] Initial X-rays on Willson Contreras were negative, but he’s off for more imaging now and the Cardinals hope to have more info within a couple of hours. Regarding bullpen roles in the late innings: Giovanny Gallegos was not available today. He’s dealing with a lower-back issue.

[Gallegos first felt his back tighten up yesterday. Went out to throw prior to today’s game and felt it lock up again. He’s day-to-day for now.](https://twitter.com/katiejwoo/status/1641596739386744834?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
I can’t imagine a 103mph pitch to the knee cap can’t feel too great. Glad the X-ray was negative and hope it’s not something that is too serious or lingers around.
That hurt so much to watch. I can’t imagine his pain. Hopefully, a quick recovery
Hopefully the MRI is negative too. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near a 103MPH pitch and sure hope Wilson just has some swelling and soreness.
Let’s be honest, if gio was pitching we would get the same result.
the pitch did seem like it hit the padding a bit, hope he’s ok
There have to be better Cardinal rights of passage than getting nailed by a Hicks fastball.
Designated hitter Wilson Contreras
Now DFA Hicks
Like Gallegos would have made a difference?
Hopefully he’s back soon. That Knizner mistake basically lost us the game in the bottom of the 9th.
