  • A's pitcher Jesus Luzardo breaks bone playing video game

    Baseball has a new entry for the annals of absurd injuries.

    The Oakland A's placed starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo on the injured list Sunday with a broken pinkie diagnosed after Saturday's start against the Baltimore Orioles. Did he suffer the injury fielding a line drive up the middle? No.

    He did it playing a video game. And he pitched through it before realizing that something was significantly wrong.

    Manager Bob Melvin explained the situation to reporters on Sunday.

    "So, before the game he was playing a video game and accidentally bumped his hand on the desk as he was playing the game," Melvin said. "He came in, was a little bit sore, training staff checked him out. We threw him in the cage before he went out there, watched him warm up.

    "He was comfortable pitching. The training staff was comfortable with him pitching. After the game, we got an X-ray, and there was a hairline in the pinkie finger."
