Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha was the victim of some terrible luck Wednesday, as he was hit on the right elbow while in the dugout.
Wacha was hit by a foul ball on the elbow, and was pulled from the game as a precaution, the team announced. He has been diagnosed with a right elbow contusion, and no further details are known as of this point.
Wacha's injury derailed one of his best starts of the season, as he ha tossed six shutout innings on 88 pitches. He allowed two hit and three walks, while striking out four before exiting with a 1-0 lead.
Wacha's next start is set for Monday against the Yankees, though it remains to be seen if he will be able to take the mound.
