Felix Hernandez Exits vs. Cubs with Injury After Being Hit by Line Drive

Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez was forced to leave Monday's spring training game due to injury.

According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, the Chicago Cubs' Victor Caratini hit a line drive back up the middle that struck Hernandez on the arm. He exited after 1.1 innings pitched, allowing one run and one hit.

The 31-year-old is trying to rebound from somewhat of a lost season in 2017. He spent two different extended stretches on the disabled list due to shoulder issues and struggled when he got a chance to pitch.
