Mijares hit by line drive
March 1, 2010
Jose Mijares was drilled in the left arm by a line drive hit by Jason Kubel during batting practice on Sunday. After being hit, Mijares dropped down to the ground for a few minutes before walking off the field. Pitching coach Rick Anderson said that Mijares is doing well and that it just hit the fleshy part of the forearm. Good news to hear as Mijares is a left handed reliever.
Mijares was throwing without a screen in front of him, and although manager Ron Gardenhire would prefer that his pitchers use them, it is up to the pitcher whether or not to use a screen. Luckily, Mijares was seen later in the day smiling in the clubhouse while just having a wrap around his arm.
