The Los Angeles Dodgers began their slate of three exhibition games Sunday night, but it was a bit of an early affair for Austin Barnes, who was removed after the fourth inning. He was replaced at catcher by Rocky Gale.
Barnes’ exit came minutes after he was hit by a pitch in his left hand/wrist area. He flexed the hand and looked to shake off some of the pain as he walked to first base. Barnes initially remained in the game and didn’t appear too concerned with his hand.
The Dodgers had not provided an update on his status at the time of publishing.
