Lively was removed from his start Tuesday versus the White Sox after getting hit in the leg by a comebacker, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Lively needed to be helped off the field after taking a 96-mph line drive off his right thigh in the second inning, but he managed to escape the incident with nothing more than a bruise. The Guardians will likely keep an eye on him over the next few days, but there's a good chance the 32-year-old righty will make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come against the Twins on Monday. Lively pitched two shutout innings while striking out two batters and walking none before his removal Tuesday.
