Luzardo breaks his little finger while playing a video game (0:26)
The Baseball Tonight team is reacting to the news that Jesus Luzardo broke his little finger while playing video games. (0:26)
Oakland Athletics southpaw Jesus Luzardo will be out of the mound for a while – and possibly video games, too.
Luzardo is out indefinitely after breaking a pinky finger on his throwing hand when he hit a table while playing a video game before his departure on Saturday.
An X-ray after an 8-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles showed a broken hairline, and Luzardo was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin said he doesn’t know how long Luzardo will miss or if he’ll need a cast or splint on his finger. Melvin hoped the pitcher could still keep his arm in good shape given the location of the break.
“Before the game, he was playing a video game and accidentally hit his hand on the desk while playing the game,” Melvin said. “He came in, was a little sore, the coaching staff checked him out. We threw him in the cage before he came out, we saw him warming up. He was comfortable to pitch, the coaching staff was comfortable with him playing, we had an x-ray and there was a hairline in the little finger.”
Oakland returns first baseman Matt Olson to the lineup on Sunday. Olson had missed three straight games after being hit in the left eye by a ball that ricocheted off the L screen during batting practice Thursday.
Luzardo pitched three innings and took the loss to the Orioles, allowing six runs – three earned – on five hits.
He’s 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA in six starts this season.
“It just depends on how he heals and how he reacts,” Melvin said. “As expected, it was a little worse today, a little puffier today, but I really have no idea of the schedule at the moment.”
The A’s also placed right-hander J.B. Wendelken on the disabled list with a strained left oblique, recalling right-hander Jordan Weems from their alternate training site to take his place in the lineup.
Southpaw Adam Kolarek was called up from the alternate site to take Luzardo’s place.
