4/11 Cubs (Hammel) @ Rockies (Kendrick) 7:10 CSN+

What happened to Olt?

 

Hit in the wrist by a pitch.

 

ugh

 

After watching the replay (and Olt's reaction), I thought there was no way it wasn't broken, so the negative x-rays were a welcome surprise.

 

i thought the same initially, but the way he's looking at his hand makes it seem like maybe it hit on the soft side of his hand, away from his thumb. that'd still hurt a lot (i assume) but not necessarily smash anything.

No one is more relieved it's not broken than Theo and Jed. Olt going on the DL would have been hugely uncomfortable for them to say the least.

Nah. La Stella at third and Mendy at second would tide them over

Yes, but the Emperor would really have no clothes then.
