Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher James Paxton was injured during just his third start with the Boston Red Sox. Paxton sustained a calf strain Sunday, and was seen limping off the field while holding his injured leg.
“I felt like I got kicked in the calf. Then, I kind of turned around, took another step and I felt it again,” Paxton said, via ESPN. “I was like: ‘It’s not good. It’s my calf.’ I felt it pop.”
This was the first calf injury of Paxton’s career, and the former Dodger is set to undergo an MRI to further evaluate his calf.
