Oh oh, it’s stupid baseball injury time. Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo was placed on injured reserve on Sunday with a broken left hand, according to the ball club, but there’s more to it. Apparently, the left-handed pitcher worked his way out Saturday with the fracture of his little finger.
He shot in a pretty bad outing, giving up six runs — three earned — in three innings on five hits and two walks while striking out just one. It makes sense that he struggled, knowing he was dealing with a fracture on his throwing hand.
Of course, he probably should have spoken before the game. The A’s didn’t get X-rays until after, when they discovered the fracture.
A’s manager Bob Melvin revealed on Sunday that Luzardo suffered the fracture while playing video games. Melvin said Luzardo “bumped” his little finger while playing, but that seems like an understatement considering we’re dealing with a broken bone here. We’ve all seen our fair share of people “bump” things when they get mad at a video game, haven’t we?
Either way, the A’s will now have to fill in Luzardo’s spin point until his finger is healed and he can get back into starting shape. They recently inserted Mike Fiers – his first outing of the year was on Friday – so they have five starters at the moment with Chris Bassitt, Sean Manaea, Frankie Montos, Cole Irvin and Fiers.
The talented 23-year-old Luzardo is 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in 28 innings this season. He has been considered one of baseball’s top 10 prospects in the past.
The A’s came in first in the AL West on Sunday at 16-12, despite starting the season 1-7.
