Lefty Brant Hurter leaves Tigers' game with apparent leg injury
Lefty reliever Brant Hurter slipped while delivering a pitch and came up hobbling in Friday's game against the Orioles.
Baltimore – How about another pitcher injury for the Tigers. Before the game, the Tigers put right-handed reliever Burch Smith on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. Then, in the fifth inning Friday night, lefty reliever Brant Hurter slipped while delivering a pitch and came up hobbling.
He walked slowly off the field, in obvious discomfort. The game was played in a steady rain, so it’s not surprising the mound was slippery. There was no immediate word on the exact nature of the injury.
