View the original article to see embedded media.

Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman was forced to leave the first game of a Saturday doubleheader against the Rays after he was hit in the right foot by a line drive off of the bat of Tampa Bay shortstop Wander Franco.

With the bases loaded in the top of the third inning, Franco drilled a liner, which had an exit velocity of 100 miles per hour, back in the direction of the mound. The ball struck Gausman near his ankle and bounced back toward catcher Gabriel Moreno, who retired Franco at first base.
