ST. PETERSBURG -- Jeff Niemann was forced to exit Thursday night's game -- a 5-4 Rays loss -- in the top of the second inning after taking a shot off the side of his right shoulder. The move was strictly a precaution, and the injury is being classified as a contusion. 2局上Niemann左肩中彈,檢查後確定只是小挫傷 "That was as close as it gets, I guess," Niemann said."But it was the best-case scenario, as it got the shoulder -- and mostly the meaty part -- and hopefully I'll be back out there in five days." Niemann表示是打到右肩肉最多的地方，可能五天內就能再上場 Miguel Tejada, leading off the Orioles' second, hit a ball up the middle that caught the 6-foot-9 right-hander square on the side of the shoulder; the ball ricocheted to Carlos Pena at first for the the unusual 1-3 putout. 雖然投手倒地，但球直接進潘納手套，八毛慘遭接殺 Niemann appeared to be in some pain, bending at the waist before being tended to on the mound by a contingent of trainers and manager Joe Maddon. After Niemann threw several pitches, Maddon signaled to the bullpen for Andy Sonnanstine to come into the game. 中彈後仍想續投，但西瓜say no "I could see in his face that he wanted to stay, but I could also sense that it didn't feel too good," Maddon said. "It's one of those things where he gets stiff and sore very quickly, and there was no sense in leaving him out there." 西瓜表示:保護選手是咱們西...喔不...是咱們教練的職責XD Niemann didn't feel any real soreness or pain while throwing those test pitches , but "10 minutes after I got done and came [into the clubhouse], it was like, 'I made the right decision,' " he said. Niemanne感到不痛不癢，並說西瓜讚 Before he exited, Niemann threw 12 pitches,10 for strikes, and had retired each of the four hitters he faced. 完美表現:投12球,4上4下 "I felt great," he said. "All the buildup and anticipation to start the season, and it's finally here ... It was very disappointing. I just have to work to get back out there as soon as I can. ... It's unfortunate, but it happens. Niemann痛心疾首表示:衰! "It tightened up a lot," Niemann said. "But it's just muscle, X-rays are fine, there's nothing really wrong, so I just have to take it day by day and see how it feels." X光顯示一切無恙 Maddon will know in the next couple of days whether Niemann will make his next start, which would be against the Orioles in Baltimore on Tuesday. 可能依舊按輪值打金鶯 Niemann was making his first start of the season after leading the team in wins in 2009, when he went 13-6 with a 3.94 ERA in his rookie season. 光芒去年的勝投王 希望一舉拿下今年美聯勝投王吧!!! 加油!!! --
