per ESPN...Glad I didn't draft him.
Cleveland Indians ace C.C. Sabathia was struck on the left wrist by a line drive Wednesday in the first inning of his final spring training start, against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Sabathia, scheduled to pitch the Indians' opener next week in Chicago, couldn't shield himself from the hard shot off the bat of Reed Johnson on the left-hander's second pitch of the game.
Indians coaches and trainers sprinted from the dugout to the mound to assist Sabathia, who shook his hand and shouted a loud profanity. He was immediately taken to the clubhouse to assess his condition.
