News summary

New York Mets pitcher Paul Blackburn exited Friday night's game against the San Diego Padres after being hit on the right wrist by a 100-mph line drive from David Peralta. Blackburn, who was acquired at the trade deadline, had allowed 10 hits and five earned runs over 2 1/3 innings before the incident. Diagnosed with a right hand contusion, he will undergo further testing. If Blackburn is unable to continue, Tylor Megill is the likely replacement, though he has struggled with a 5.40 ERA in his recent Triple-A starts. The Mets, plagued by injuries in their starting rotation, lost the game 7-0 with Joe Musgrove dominating on the mound for the Padres.
