Inciarte HBP in first inning, exits in fifth

July 12th, 2018

ATLANTA -- Braves center fielder exited Wednesday night's game against the Blue Jays a few innings after getting hit above the right elbow with a Sam Gaviglio pitch.
Inciarte remained in the game after getting hit by the first-inning pitch and doubled during Atlanta's six-run second inning. He grounded out to end the third inning and was replaced defensively by Danny Santana before the top of the fifth.
Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman exited last Wednesday's game against the Yankees after getting in the same area with a pitch. Freeman returned to the lineup the next day, after the swelling around his triceps muscle subsided.
