Astros reliever Phil Maton revealed that he fractured his right hand punching his locker after Houston’s final regular season game on Wednesday. He had surgery on Monday and will miss the rest of the season.
“Following the game on Wednesday I punched my locker and fractured my fifth metacarpal,” he said. “Had surgery yesterday, everything went well…[I’m] eyeing next year right now.”
Maton explained that he wasn’t happy with his final performance of the season. In that last game against the Phillies, Maton allowed two runs on two hits while just recording one out.
