TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Mason Fluharty left Saturday\u2019s game against the Athletics in the seventh inning after being struck on the right leg by consecutive infield singles.<\/p>\n
Fluharty replaced Braydon Fisher to begin the inning and gave up a leadoff single to Jeff McNeil that bounced in front of the mound and struck the Toronto reliever above the right knee.<\/p>\n
Manager John Schneider and a trainer came out to check on the 24-year-old Fluharty, who stayed in to face Max Muncy. Three pitches later, Muncy\u2019s bouncing comebacker hit Fluharty on the inside of the right knee, knocking him to the ground.<\/p>\n
Schneider and the trainer came out again and Fluharty eventually limped off while being supported by slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and head athletic trainer Jose Ministral.<\/p>\n
Left-hander Brendon Little came on for Fluharty, who went 5-2 with a 4.44 ERA in 55 games as a rookie last season.<\/p>\n
Both hits off Fluharty led to runs. McNeil scored on an infield single and Muncy came home on a grand slam by Shea Langeliers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Mason Fluharty left Saturday\u2019s game against the Athletics in the seventh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2378],"tags":[5,377,2554,1208,1332,3964,83204,83203,1532,4,9501,9496,39138,83205,3442,282,70,2553,93],"class_list":{"0":"post-649412","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-blue-jays","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-blue-jays","10":"tag-bluejays","11":"tag-brendon-little","12":"tag-jeff-mcneil","13":"tag-john-schneider","14":"tag-jose-ministral","15":"tag-mason-fluharty-blue-jays","16":"tag-max-muncy","17":"tag-mlb","18":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","19":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","20":"tag-product-40776-ap-california-sports-only","21":"tag-product-40798-ap-nevada-sports-only","22":"tag-shea-langeliers","23":"tag-toronto","24":"tag-toronto-blue-jays","25":"tag-torontobluejays","26":"tag-vladimir-guerrero-jr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116309242884643439","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
