NEW YORK (AP) -Yankees right-hander Joba Chamberlain has left his start against the Baltimore Orioles after being struck on the right leg by Adam Jones’ liner in the first inning.
Jones’ ball with one out hit Chamberlain just above his knee. Chamberlain threw to first to retire the center fielder, took a few shaky steps near the mound then bent over as manager Joe Girardi and trainer Gene Monahan came out of the dugout.
After a short conference, Chamberlain threw a couple of warmup pitches and stayed in. Nick Markakis and Aubrey Huff followed with singles before Girardi came out with Monahan again.
This time, Chamberlain walked gingerly off the mound toward the dugout. Alfredo Aceves then got Melvin Mora to fly out to end the inning.
