Arizona Diamondbacks’ Blaze Alexander was removed from Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Twins after being hit by a pitch in the fourth inning.
After striking out in his first appearance, Alexander took a 89 mph sinker to the left elbow from Twins righty Bailey Ober.
After being looked at by manager Torey Lovullo and trainers, Alexander stayed in the game to run and was seen visibly hanging his rarm while running the bases. He would score via a James McCann three-run home run that would gave the Diamondbacks a 4-2 lead.
He was removed from the game prior to the bottom of the fourth inning for Ildemaro Vargas.
Alexander entered Sunday’s game hitting 2 for 10 in the series, including two RBIs in the D-backs’ 5-2 win against the Twins on Saturday.
