CLEVELAND -- Los Angeles Angels pitcher Luke Bard left their game at Cleveland after he was hit by a line drive in the fifth inning.
Bard was struck above his right elbow by Carlos Santana's liner. Manager Brad Ausmus and a trainer went to the mound, and Bard departed with a right triceps contusion.
The ball landed near the shortstop position just in front of the outfield grass and Santana was credited with a single.
The news comes just hours after the Angels announced that pitcher Felix Pena would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.
