Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone left Wednesday’s game after taking a nasty pitch to the ribs, and now everyone’s waiting to hear what the heck is going on. It’s a huge blow for a guy who’s been absolutely crushing it lately.
That Nasty Pitch That Ended His Night
The moment everyone’s talking about came in the third inning when Caglianone got plunked right near his rib area. You hate to see that kind of hit. What’s wild is he actually stayed in for two more innings, showing some serious toughness out there. But by the fifth, he was out, with pinch hitter John Rave stepping in to replace him. Now we’re all holding our breath for an update on his status.
The Streak He Was Building
This is extra rough because Caglianone was truly on fire. Before that hit by pitch, he’d already extended his insane on-base streak to 17 games! He did it in the first inning with an infield single, showing off that hustle. The guy has been on a tear, seriously. So to have this happen right when he’s playing his best ball, it’s a real gut punch.
The Royals and their fans are definitely going to be glued to their phones waiting for news on Caglianone’s right fielder status. You never want to speculate with ribs, but given how well he’s been playing, any time off the field is a big deal. Here’s hoping it’s nothing too serious.
