Trayce Thompson said he felt “pretty lucky” that he only suffered a hyper-extended left elbow on an ugly-looking play in the ninth inning of an 8-7 victory over the Athletics on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
Thompson was trying to make a diving catch in right field to start the ninth, but he rolled on his left arm at an awkward angle and had to leave the game. X-rays on the arm were negative, and he is considered day to day.
“I’ve seen those injuries happen before, especially when I was a kid playing football,” Thompson said.
