Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Zach Plesac was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hand injury he sustained after punching the mound when he gave up a home run in his last start, manager Terry Francona announced Friday.
Francona confirmed Plesac fractured his hand in a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 27.
This is only the most recent injury for Plesac, who missed time during the 2021 campaign when he broke his right thumb ripping off his shirt aggressively in a game against the Minnesota Twins.
Losing Plesac is unfortunate for the Guardians.
