Gregory Soto Gets Hit By Comebacker In Rough Outing
3 years agoDetroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto (hand) had a rough outing against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. He entered the game in the ninth inning while the Tigers were up 4-1 and went on to give up two hits, one walk and three earned runs without recording an out. He was hit in his throwing hand by a comebacker in the inning. He told the team he was fine after the play and initially stayed in the game. He is set to undergo tests on his hand on Saturday. Soto has had a great year as the Tigers' primary closer. He's converted 18-of-19 save opportunities while pitching to a 3.39 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP on the year. If he were to miss time, Michael Fulmer would likely take over closer duties.
