He smashed the pinkie on his throwing hand, and still went out and tossed three innings on Saturday.
Oakland A's pitcher Jesus Luzardo kicked back with a video game prior to his start on Saturday, and the lefty broke the pinkie finger on his pitching hand while playing. Though it felt sore, he still went out and pitched three innings of an 8-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
"Before the game he was playing a video game and accidentally bumped his hand on the desk as he was playing the game," A's coach Bob 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 [fracture] in the pinkie finger.
Melvin didn't give a timetable on Luzardo's return, nor did he indicate whether his pitcher would wear a splint.
