Brewers rookie reliever Gus Varland was able to walk off on his own power after being hit in the hand and face by a 105.1 mph line drive on Saturday.
rookie reliever Gus Varland avoided what could’ve been a very serious situation after his Saturday outing against the San Diego Padres. Padres sluggerUnfortunately, the ball went right back where it came from and hit Varland, who fell on the mound while Brewers shortstop Willy Adames threw out Machado at first base.
But everyone was worried about Varland, who sprung up as his teammates and trainers met with him on the mound. Varland was told to go down on one knee, as the ball clearly hit him in the face at one point. "I’m more mad about the slider location," he said to reporters, via MLB.com."It felt good out of the hand, but it just didn’t get there. Came back at me. Hit my hand and my chin, hit my left forearm. Just kinda rocked me a little bit. I felt like I could’ve kept going, but I think that’s the adrenaline talking. X-rays came back all good and ready to go."
