Cubs star pitcher Jake Arrietta left today’s game today with what is believed to be a hamstring injury in the 3rd inning. The Cubs confirmed the injury but did not declare it’s severity. According to CSN Chicago, team trainers continued to work on Arrietta to determine if it was a cramp or something more serious. The timing of the issue could not be more critical as the defending World Series Champions attempt to charge once more into the playoffs.
Meanwhile the White Sox had a striking highlight from outflieder Adam Engel with one of the craziest catches you might see all year. This bit of surgar helped swallow the bitterness of a 5-3 loss to Cleveland. The Sox did not leave the game without their own bumps, as pitcher James Shield got nailed in the right knee with a line drive.
