Hunter Stratton Injured During Pirates Game

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Hunter Stratton was carted off the field during Saturday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds after suffering a left leg injury while chasing a wild pitch. Stratton had just entered the game, relieving Jake Woodford, when he uncorked a wild pitch that allowed two runs to score. Attempting to recover the ball, he slid awkwardly and fell into the unpadded backstop, clutching his leg in pain. Stratton's injury comes as he has been performing well this season, holding a 3.58 ERA across 35 appearances. The Pirates were unable to recover from an early deficit, ultimately losing the game 10-2. The team has not yet provided an update on Stratton's condition following the incident.
