Chicago White Sox first baseman José Abreu exited with a bruised left knee after being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning Sunday against the Seattle Mariners at Guaranteed Rate Field.
JT Chargois hit Abreu on the left knee on the first pitch of the at-bat. The training staff immediately checked on Abreu, who slammed his helmet while he was on the ground.
An inning earlier, Mariners pitcher Héctor Santiago was ejected after umpires took his glove when he left with two outs in the fifth. Santiago was stopped as part of the Major League Baseball’s foreign substances inspections for every pitcher.
