Rays starter Ryan Pepiot departs with leg bruise after getting hit by 107.5 mph
line drive
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot
departed with a lower left leg bruise in the third inning of Sunday's game
against the New York Mets after getting hit by a 107.5 mph line drive hit by
Starling Marte.
The team said X-rays were negative.
Pepiot fell immediately to the ground but was able to get back up on his own.
He was removed after throwing a couple of warm-up pitches from the mound.
"He's going to be sore tomorrow, but optimistic he'll be good to go," Rays
manager Kevin Cash said after a 7-6, 10-inning win.
Pepiot said his calf is sore but doesn't expect to miss his next start.
Pepiot is 3-2 with a 3.68 ERA in seven starts. He was acquired from the Los
Angeles Dodgers last December in a trade where the Rays sent ace Tyler Glasnow
to the National League club.
The right-hander was charged with three runs and three hits over two-plus
innings. He went 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA over his previous three starts.
