SAN DIEGO -- Promising rookie Trey Wingenter departed Thursday's game against the D-backs after being hit by a line drive on his pitching arm.
Wingenter had recorded one out in his second inning of relief when A.J. Pollock lined a 95-mph fastball back to Wingenter. The comebacker -- measured at an exit velocity of 101 mph -- struck Wingenter on his right arm.
Wingenter, who was called up for his Major League debut on Aug. 7 in hopes of further boosting one of the National League's best bullpens, had made four career appearances prior to Thursday's.
