Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre left Sunday’s game following a misplay. Beltre appeared to have re-aggrevated the hamstring injury which saw him land on the disabled list recently.

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob DeGrom exited Sunday's start after just one inning. DeGrom struggled through that inning, throwing 45 pitches and walking three, but did not surrender a run.

Robinson Cano Diagnosed With A Fractured Bone In Hand

Updating an earlier post, Robinson Cano's X-ray taken at the stadium revealed that he fractured his fifth metacarpal on his right hand.
