Tepesch leaves game after taking liner off arm By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com | 4/20/2013 11:49 P.M. ET ARLINGTON -- Rangers starter Nick Tepesch had to leave Saturday's game in the second inning after getting hit on the right arm with a line drive off the bat of Mariners catcher Jesus Montero. Tepesch was examined by Dr. Keith Meister in the clubhouse immediately afterward and the initial diagnosis was a contusion on the right wrist. X-rays were negative, but Tepesch will undergo further examination on Sunday as the Rangers see how much day-after pain and swelling there is in the arm. Tepesch is scheduled to start on Thursday against the Twins. "It feels all right," Tepesch said. "It's a little sore. It could have been a lot worse." Tepesch had retired the first two hitters of the second inning and five of the first six batters he faced before Montero smacked a line drive up the middle. The ball hit off Tepesch's pitching arm just above the wrist and ricocheted into right-center field for a hit. The ball left a bloody gash on Tepesch's arm. Trainer Jamie Reed, manager Ron Washington and trainer Jamie Reed were headed toward the mound even before Montero was finished rounding first base. Tepesch tried to stay in the game and threw several pitches as a test. But the Rangers decided instead to bring in reliever Derek Lowe. Tepesch ended up throwing 21 pitches. "He's feeling pretty good," Washington said. "I don't think it's going to affect his next start, but we weren't going to take any chances. I thought something was broken, but he's a tough kid. He really wanted to finish the inning, but we weren't going to let that happen when we didn't know what was going on." source: http://ppt.cc/4fz- 簡略翻一下上色的部分，有錯的話請大家指正： Tepesch接受初步診斷後，目前發現是右手手腕上有挫傷， 而照了X光也沒有發現其他異狀，不過Tepesch星期天還要 做進一步的檢查來確定腫痛的狀況。 Tepesch被排定要在星期四隊上雙城的系列戰先發。 他表示現在感覺一切安好，只有一點痠痛而已。 「他覺得自己很好、沒什麼問題」Ron總說，「我也不認為 這會影響到他下一次的先發，但我們不會冒任何風險。我 當時覺得那顆球一定造成了什麼傷害，不過他是個堅強的 孩子、非常想要投完那一局；但在我們不知道（他的身體） 發生了什麼事的狀況下，不能讓他那麼做。」 ＊＊＊ 幸好目前看起來沒什麼事（擦汗 現在的輪值不能再有人缺席了呀！ 拜託大家都要健健康康平平安安的！ -- ◆． ２０１０ American League CHAMPION ．◆ ◆． ２０１１ American League CHAMPION ．◆ ★．TEXAS RANGERS．★ Keep walking, Ranger walker. －－ForgerEames --
