MIAMI (AP) — Miami Marlins third baseman Graham Pauley left Friday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh inning with an apparent injury.
Milwaukee right-hander Grant Anderson threw an inside pitch to Pauley in his third at-bat of the game. Pauley spun to avoid the pitch that was chest high and then took a few steps away from the batter’s box before leaning over in apparent discomfort and leaving the game.
Heriberto Hernandez replaced Pauley for the remainder of the at-bat and stayed in the game in left field. Javier Sanoja moved from left field to third base.
The Marlins provided no immediate update on Pauley’s apparent injury.
Pauley was 0 for 2 with a strikeout, leaving his batting average at .174.
