Valdez Out After 92-MPH Pitch | Pittsburgh Pirates News
from Pittsburgh Pirates News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Pirates’ rising star Esmeryln Valdez, just 22 and on fire with 14 homers this season, was blindsided by a 92-mph fastball that slammed into his left hand mid-game against the Diamondbacks. Forced out of action, he needed medical help before limping off, with Jared Triolo stepping in to fill right field. Manager Don Kelly stayed silent, Valdez unavailable for comment, but teammates like Brandon Lowe voiced concern — praising Valdez’s clutch hitting and smart play, especially as he’s been a vital piece with key players sidelined. Now, all eyes turn to the doctors to see how long the injury will sideline the young phenom. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
