CLEVELAND (AP) -Luke Hochevar of the Kansas City Royals left his start against the Cleveland Indians with an undisclosed injury while warming up for the sixth inning Tuesday night.
The right-hander had allowed seven hits over five innings and the Royals were trailing 4-3 when he went to the mound to warm up. Hochevar threw a couple of pitches and assistant trainer Frank Kyte went to the mound to check on the 24-year-old. A moment later, they walked to the dugout.
Hochevar, the first overall selection of the 2006 draft out of Tennessee, made 85 pitches in his 23rd start of the season before leaving. He came in with a 6-11 record and 5.44 ERA.
